TIL there’s an underground roundabout in the Faroe Islands

Posted byDonnchaPosted inGeneralTags:, ,

11Km of tunnels were built between some of the islands of the Faroe Islands, and right in the middle of one of those tunnels, 70 metres underground, is a roundabout. It enables drivers to go to Runavik or Strendur. It cuts travel time from just over an hour to 16 minutes. Hugely impressive.

An underground roundabout. A man points down towards one tunnel exit while a car pulls into the roundabout. The centre of the roundabout is lit up in soft blue and red colours with silhouettes of people visible.
