Cleaning and maintenance work will take place overnight in Iceland’s Hvalfjordur Tunnel on Sept. 7, 8 and 9, from 11 p.m. until 6:30 a.m.

The Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration said escorted traffic will operate through the tunnel while the work continues. Drivers have been asked to follow staff instructions and drive carefully.

Cleaning may make the tunnel very slippery. Drivers must not overtake the vehicles leading the convoy. Street sweepers, water trucks and lift trucks will also be operating inside the tunnel, requiring extra caution.
