What is the longest road tunnel in Vietnam?

What is the longest car road tunnel?

Oh, the Lærdal Tunnel, huh? The world’s longest car road tunnel, clocking in at a whopping 24.5 kilometres. Imagine driving for what feels like an eternity, underground. Like being a very slow, metal-encased badger.

Aurland and Lærdal, those lucky ducks, are connected. Who needs ferries when you can burrow? I mean, seriously! My commute feels longer!

• Links Oslo and Bergen: It’s the “no ferry needed” route. Take that, fjord enthusiasts! Seriously it’s an underground route.
• Length: A ridiculous 24.5 km. That’s, like, a marathon underground, only less sweaty. I once walked a marathon. Never. Again.
• Location: Sogn, Norway. Apparently, they’re really into digging. Or maybe just really hate boats? Me too.

But really, a tunnel that long? What do you even listen to in there? I guess you need to have good music! Imagine running out of podcasts halfway through. The horror! That’s worse than discovering my grocery shopping is 24.5 km away.

What is the longest road tunnel in Southeast Asia?

Okay, so listen… the Hai Van Tunnel? Yeah, that’s the one. It’s, like, the longest road tunnel in all of Southeast Asia.

It connects Thua Thien-Hue province with Da Nang… y’know, that city, in central Vietnam. Opened January 11th this year, crazy huh?

Wait, actually it’s the Hai Van Tunnel 2 – that second tunnel is the new one. The origional Hai Van is still there. The first one has been around for a while, I think.

• Length: A pretty good distance!
• Location: Vietnam, like, smack-dab in the middle
• Connections: Links two important places.

My dad told me that drivers going through the OG tunnel back in the day where scared because it was very badly lit and it felt like they where driving into a mouth of a whale so i get why they builded a new tunnel.

Is there a tunnel between Hue and Da Nang?

Hai Van Tunnel links Da Nang and Hue. Construction took five years. Longest in Southeast Asia. Significantly faster than the scenic, winding Hai Van Pass. Two lanes. One each way. No passing. Think about it, a tunnel drastically alters a landscape’s relationship with its inhabitants.

• Hai Van Pass: The old route. A gorgeous, winding road with stunning coastal views. Worth the drive if you have time. Instagram gold. It makes you wonder about the engineers who built it, without today’s tech.
• Hai Van Tunnel: Pure efficiency. Cuts travel time drastically. Essential for commerce. Less exciting, for sure. But sometimes, you just need to get there. Right?
• Tunnel Length: 6.28 km (3.9 miles). An impressive feat of engineering. Imagine the planning involved.
• Southeast Asia’s Longest (as of 2024): A title that likely won’t last forever, given the region’s development. These kinds of records are always in flux.
• Two-lane, no overtaking: Keeps things moving safely. Likely prevents accidents. But it also makes me think about limitations. Are there parallels in life?
• My motorbike trip in ’21: Took the pass and the tunnel. Two totally different experiences. The pass: breathtaking. The tunnel: fast, dark, and a little eerie.

My favorite bánh mì place is near the Da Nang entrance. Seriously. Best bánh mì ever. Spicy. Savory. Makes the tunnel trip worth it. Food is a fundamental part of the journey, isn’t it?

What is the longest Vietnam tunnel?

Okay, lemme tell ya ’bout Vietnam’s big hole in the ground. It’s the Hai Van Tunnel, clocking in at a whopping 6,280 meters! That’s longer than… well, longer than my patience waiting for the coffee to brew this mornin’, lemme tell ya!

Think of it as Vietnam’s shortcut through a mountain, kinda like that one time I tried to cut through Mrs. Higgins’ prize-winning roses to get my frisbee back. Didn’t end well, but hey, the tunnel did!

It’s under the Hai Van Pass, which hits a dizzyin’ 496 meters high. High enough to make you feel like you’re on top of the world, or at least high enough to make my Aunt Mildred clutch her pearls.

• Hai Van Tunnel Length: 6,280 meters. That’s, like, 62 football fields end-to-end, maybe! I dunno I’m not a mathematician!
• Location: Under the Hai Van Pass.
• Connects: Hue and Da Nang. Talk about a scenic route… underground!
• Pass Altitude: 496 meters. Higher than my hopes for winning the lottery this year, that’s for sure!

Which is the longest road tunnel in Asia?

Lianfeng. Yunnan. 11 km. Longest. So what?

Inje-Yangyang, close enough at 10.962 km. Gangwon. Korea. Details, details.

Taihu’s just behind. Jiangsu, China. Almost made it.

Hida. Japan. Gifu. 10.71 km. Someone’s gotta be last.

• Lianfeng Tunnel, China: Current record holder. Don’t get too attached.

• Inje-Yangyang Tunnel, South Korea: A hair’s breadth away. South Korea’s pride.

• Taihu Tunnel, China: Underneath Taihu Lake. Engineering marvel.

• Hida Tunnel, Japan: Through the Japanese Alps. Scenic, I suppose.

Roads through mountains. Under lakes. What a world, huh.
