Construction work on the new Sörli riding arena will begin around mid-April. The pouring of the foundations is expected to start in early June, with the construction of the foundations for the riding arena and the associated building taking place this summer and autumn. Work will be paused over the winter while the steelwork for the hall is being manufactured. In spring 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 indoors at the north end of the current premises. The work area will be enclosed by a hoarding, and unauthorised persons will be 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.
