Yxlö is connected to the neighbouring island of Herrö by road bridge, and Herrö is in turn connected to the mainland by a further series of bridges. In the opposite direction, Yxlö is connected to the island of Muskö by the 2,895-metre (9,498 ft) long Muskö Tunnel [sv] under the waters of the Baltic Sea. The road across the bridges and islands, and through the tunnel, is known as the Muskö road [sv] and was originally built in the 1960s to provide access to the Muskö naval base.
