Outcome reported
- Traffic lights at two intersections in the Reykjavik area failed because of a faulty control box.
- Authorities closed the intersections to traffic while repairs were carried out.
- The roads have reopened after the lights were fixed.
Traffic has resumed at two intersections after workers repaired traffic lights that failed earlier in the day.
The affected junctions were Breiðholtsbraut and Reykjanesbraut, and Nýbýlavegur and Dalvegur. The intersections had been closed after the lights stopped working.
Iceland’s Road and Coastal Administration said on Facebook that the failure resulted from a defective control box serving the traffic lights at both junctions.
