The Hanekleiv Tunnel (Norwegian: Hanekleivtunnelen) is a road tunnel in Holmestrand Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The 1,765-metre (5,791 ft) long tunnel is one of seven along the European route E18 highway in Holmestrand Municipality. The tunnel became the centre of controversy on 25 December 2006 when part of the roof collapsed, and investigations revealed that several tunnels on the E18 highway through Vestfold were insufficiently secured. The tunnel was fully reopened on 30 August 2007.
