The tunnel is 5.7 km long and drops to 165 m below sea level — ease off down the descent, and stay in the right lane if you're pulling a trailer. Maintenance closures happen overnight and on occasional weekends — always check umferdin.is or vegagerdin.is right before you go. When it's closed, your only alternative is the Hvalfjörður detour, which adds about 45 minutes between Reykjavík and Akranes.
