The Horda Tunnel (Norwegian: Hordatunnelen) is a road tunnel in Ullensvang Municipality in Vestland county, Norway.[1] The 475-metre (1,558 ft) long tunnel is in the village of Horda. The tunnel is a spiral tunnel, turning almost a complete circle while continuously traversing a gradient of 7%.[2] The tunnel was built to replace a narrow section of road that was made up of many hairpin turns.
