A Day On Wikipedia

The ”’Granfoss Tunnel”’ are two tunnels on [[Ring 3 (Oslo)|Ring 3]] in [[Oslo]], [[Norway]]. The tunnels are 2.1 km long and they are part of the Granfoss Line, a 2.9 km stretch of motorw which was opened in 1992 connecting Ring 3 with [[European route E18]]. The name comes from the [[Granfossen]] waterfall on the [[Lysakerelva]] river which passes close by. The two tunnels run from [[Lysaker]] to Mustad, and from Mustad to [[Ullern Church]], respectively.

When the two tunnels with 4 lanes were opened for traffic, a bottleneck of Oslo’s road system which had lingered for several decades was finally dissolved.

Despite there being two tunnels, the singular name is used in local parlance.
