The Hvaler Tunnel is a subsea road tunnel which connects the island of Kirkøy to the rest of Hvaler, Norway. The tunnel opened in 1989 and is 3,751 meters long and 120 meters deep with an incline of 10% at its steepest point, located on Norwegian County Road 108.
Prior to the tunnel, the services was provided by Hvaler Båt- og Fergeselskap. In 1986, Hvalertunnelen AS was established to take up a loan to build the tunnel, and pay the loan through collected toll fares. Tolls started at 130 Norwegian krone and ended at 154 by 2007, when the loan was paid off. For another two years, a NOK 20 fee was collected to finance a bicycle path on the island. From 22 April 2010, it was possible to make mobile telephone calls from the tunnel.
