The estimated completion date is in 2025.

Construction work on Sörli's new riding arena began in mid-April 2023. The piling of the foundations started in early June, and the concreting of the foundations for the riding arena and the associated building took place over the summer and autumn. Work was paused during the winter of 2023-2024 while the steelwork for the hall was being manufactured. In the spring of 2024, work will resume in earnest with the erection of the hall and the final finishing of the building.

All unauthorised traffic through the construction site is prohibited.

The contractor's facilities will be located indoors at the northern end of the current premises. The work area is enclosed by a hoarding, and unauthorised persons are prohibited from entering the site unless accompanied by contractor personnel. The plans are for the hall's riding surface to be ready for use in January 2024, although work on other parts of the project will continue.

A new riding arena will completely transform the facilities for equestrians at Sörli.

On 29 November, the City of Hafnarfjörður, Eykt and Sörli signed a contract for the construction of a new riding arena for the riding club Sörli. A new indoor riding arena will completely transform the facilities for equestrians at Sörli and open up new opportunities for indoor competitions. The Sörli grounds and its arena complex are unique, and the community, environment and surroundings that Sörli has built up in the area are exemplary. The new building will bring members and visitors even closer to the arena, the sport, and the horses. Indoor and outdoor spectator areas will merge, and from the new building, it will be possible to walk out onto a paved terrace above a new spectator bank by the arena. The new building will help the club to further its excellent work in developing its children's and novice programmes, and will expand opportunities for instruction and regular training sessions for Sörli's members. The club's competitive and elite athletes will finally have a superb indoor facility for training.
