Four lanes through Hafnarfjörður
Traffic was opened onto the dualled Reykjanesbraut in Hafnarfjörður yesterday, largely completing the works that the Road Administration tendered last year and which began in May 2019. The Road Administration's tender was for the dualling of the Reykjanesbraut (41) in Hafnarfjörður, specifically the 3.2-kilometre section between Kaldárselvegur and Krýsuvíkurvegur. The tender also included the construction of a new road bridge over Strandgata, two footbridges over the Reykjanesbraut at Ásland and Þorlákstún, as well as the installation of extensive noise barriers. The project also included alterations to the utility networks as well as new installations, and finally, site clearance and landscaping.
Project: Reykjanesbraut (41) Kaldárselsvegur – Krýsuvíkurvegur, is notable as this section of road is the first to be completed of those belonging to the Capital Area Transport Agreement, and also because the future route of the Borgarlínan is planned to run under the Reykjanesbraut at Strandgata.
ÍSTAK was the contractor for the project, while Mannvit was responsible for supervision. The work schedules were broadly adhered to, and there has been little to no delay in the project's handover, despite the unusual circumstances.
All four lanes were opened to traffic at midday today, 24 November, but the contractor is now working on final finishing on and around the Reykjanesbraut.
