The Granfoss Tunnel is a set of two tunnels on

Lysakerelva river, which passes nearby. The two tunnels run from Lysaker to Mustad, and from Mustad to Ullern Church
, respectively.

When the two tunnels with four lanes were opened for traffic, a bottleneck of Oslo's road system which had lingered for several decades was finally dissolved. The tunnels were financed by Oslo Package 1.[1]

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