Myklebost or Myklebust is a village on the southern end of the island of Harøya in Ålesund Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The village is about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of the municipal center of Steinshamn. There are ferry connections from Myklebost to Fjørtofta and Brattvåg in Haram Municipality and to Dryna in Midsund Municipality. The Myklebost area was a part of Haram Municipality until 1965. [2] Harøy Church is located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the village.
The 3,680-metre (12,070 ft) long Fjørtoftfjord Tunnel is being constructed from Myklebost on Harøya island under the Fjørtoftfjorden to the nearby island of Fjørtofta. This tunnel is part of the Nordøyvegen project that will connect several islands to the mainland upon its completion in 2022. [3]
