Ongoing Roadwork Continues in Iceland This Week

Roadwork is continuing this week in Iceland, with asphalt paving operations underway in Ártúnsbrekka, Reykjavík. The Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration (Vegagerðin) is focused on paving the middle lane of Ártúnsbrekka heading east, with work scheduled to last from 7 p.m. into the early morning hours.

This paving effort addresses the poor condition of the lane, which has previously been reported on. The construction has already caused significant traffic delays, with long queues forming during the day's work.

Vegagerðin has also authorized further projects for the week, contingent on favorable weather conditions. Paving is planned for Vesturlandsvegur in the westbound direction near Laxalón, from 7 p.m. until 4 a.m. on June 19. Additionally, paving will occur in Ártúnsbrekka in the westbound direction near N1, from 11 p.m. until 4 a.m. on the same night.

Further work includes milling operations on Reykjanesbraut in the southbound direction, starting from Kaplakriki. This is scheduled to take place between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. on June 19.
