With the new under-sea tunnel open, complete with sub-oceanic roundabout, I've gone through and updated the system as there were quite a lot of changes for that, and I've found others bits that needed doing. There's a lot of changes in total, and it mucks up those who've travelled there's travels. I've left off changes which won't affect travels - though the updates will have a full list.
- Eysturoyartunnillin
- The new tunnel is a diversion of Lv10, bypassing a significant chunk of that route - either travels will be broken, or you'll get credit for travelling in this tunnel
- The Lv11 has been extended along the former Lv10 to the southern entrance to the tunnel.
- A new route, the Lv13, takes the rest of the former Lv10 - between Lv11 and the former Lv15 (now Lv10).
- Sandoy
- The Lv12 on Sandoy north of the under-construction inter-island tunnel has been renumbered Lv47 in prep for the tunnel being part of the Lv12
- Vagar
- The Lv11 ends at the Airport, with the short bit to the Lv45 the Lv22 (always has been, AFAICS: got it wrong originally)
- Funningsfjordur
- It's the Lv60 that reaches the Lv13, not Lv62 (ditto - got it wrong originally)
- Bordoy
- The Lv24 is now part of an extended Lv70
- Vidoy
- The Lv70 takes the somewhat new tunnel across the island, and runs along the east coast.
- The west coast route is now Lv97

I never really had the Faroe Islands on my list of places to visit, but a suboceanic roundabout?!

Yep - just opened.

Norway has several roundabouts in tunnels (and the UK has one), but not one under the sea. Second deepest sub-sea road tunnel in the world - with the deeper one (Ryfast in Stavanger) having opened less than a year ago.

I had a (grad) school classmate, at LSU, who did his doctorate on the Faroe islands.

Is anything still open or can the topic be marked solved?

It's all done, this was just documenting as it was a radical change for those who travelled in that region.

I love that in Europe they're not afraid of building tunnels. All this in a place with about 80% the population of Portland... w0ot!
