In 2012, the European route E39 highway was re-routed so that it goes through the village of Fyrde. The 6,563-metre (4.1 mi) long Kviven Tunnel was built just southeast of the village of Fyrde, through the mountain Kviven, and it connected the Fyrde area to the village of Grodås in neighboring Hornindal Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county. In 2020, Hornindal Municipality became part of Volda Municipality in part because of the new tunnel connecting the two formerly separate areas.^[4]
