The Tussen Tunnel (Norwegian: Tussentunnelen) is a 2,840-meter (9,320 ft) long road tunnel located on County Road 64 in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The tunnel goes through the mountain Tussen and connects Hustadvika Municipality (near the village of Malme) and Molde Municipality (just north of the town of Molde), and it cuts off about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from the old road that goes through a valley around the mountain. The tunnel has 5,000 daily vehicles. The tunnel was scheduled to be paid off by 2013.
