65°15′36″N 14°13′34″W / 65.260°N 14.226°W / 65.260; -14.226 Fjarðarheiðargöng, also known as Seyðisfjarðargöng, 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 2022.[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.
