Facts and practical information
The Vigra Fixed Link, also known as the Ålesund Tunnels, is a fixed link connecting the archipelago and municipality of Giske and the island of Ellingsøya to the mainland and the island city of Ålesund. It consists of the 3,520-meter long Ellingsøy Tunnel between Ålesund and Ellingsøya, the 4,222-meter long Valderøy Tunnel connecting the islands of Ellingsøya and Valderøya, the 3,844-meter long Godøy Tunnel between the islands of Valderøya and Godøy, and the Giske Bridge from Valderøya to Giske island. Valderøya was already connected by bridge to the island of Vigra, which meant that the fixed link also connected the city of Ålesund to Ålesund Airport, Vigra.
