  Worst experience ever on Iceland! The tunnel was filled with CO2 fumes all the way. Too late did we discover this haze and stopped the inlet. Apparently there are no ventilation and a truck watering the road was a poor help against this lethal gas. I almost threw up 🤢

  A well-lit 6 kilometer tunnel. Saved me 45 minutes when I was travelling to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Cost 1000 ISK each way. Totally worth it to save the time. They accept credit card (MasterCard)

  I'm really glad this is here. It does shorten the trip a lot, and it must have been a major feat to build. Thank you Iceland! The only trouble with it is this: coming from the south, as a first time visitor you're not expecting that there's a toll booth on the north end, since there wasn't one at the south end. And when you get there, it's very unexpected that the "electronic pass" lane is the *right* lane, while the lane where you stop and pay if you don't have the pass on your car is the *left* lane, the passing lane. Usually, you would have the "electronic pass" lane on the left lane since the left is for passing. Passing = e-pass, intuitive, right? In addition, the toll booth is right when you come out of the tunnel on a blind hill, essentially. So I was in the right lane, trying to keep up enough momentum in my little rental car to allow the traffic behind me to keep moving, and surprise! I ran right through the e-pass lane without having a chance to stop, without paying my toll and without being able to go back to the booth, unless I wanted to drive the whole tunnel again and pay twice the toll I would have. In the end, I kept going and when I came back that way later in my trip, I told the attendant what had happened and paid the toll I missed. He seemed to know what had happened before I even finished my sentence. It's probably "that thing" that happens to them all the time every day.
