The Toyo Tunnel (officially the Guillermo Gaviria Echeverri Tunnel) is a road tunnel in Antioquia, Colombia between Giraldo and Cañasgordas that is currently under construction. Excavation of the tunnel began in mid-2018, and was finished in October 2023. Roads to and from the tunnel are being built by the government of Antioquia, and the tunnel is projected to open in 2027. The Toyo Tunnel crosses the alto del Toyo, a part of the Cordillera Occidental, the most westerly of the three branches of the Andes mountain range in Colombia. At 9.73 km, it will be the longest road tunnel in the Americas when it opens.
