The Derveni Tunnel (Greek: Σήραγγα Δερβενίου) is a tunnel under construction on the Corinth-Patras section of the Olympia Odos motorway. It will bypass the coastal town of Derveni, located near the border with the Achaea regional unit. Works began in 2008 along with the whole motorway, but they were halted in 2011. They were again resumed in early 2014. It will be opened to traffic in March 2017, along with the rest of the motorway.
