65°15′36″N 14°13′34″W / 65.260°N 14.226°W / 65.260; -14.226 Fjarðarheiðargöng (lit. 'Fjarðarheiði Tunnel'), also known as Seyðisfjarðargöng (lit. 'Seyðisfjörður Tunnel'), is a planned road tunnel along route 93 in eastern Iceland. The tunnel would replace a 600m high pass between Seyðisfjörður and Egilsstaðir. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025 with an expected construction time of about 7 years.[1] The reason for construction is that the pass is often hit by snow storms making it impassable, and that the only car ferry reaching Iceland calls at Seyðisfjörður.
