Construction work will begin immediately, as the project must be completed in a short timeframe and be finished by 1 November.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This week, representatives of Loftorka, Su\u00f0urverk and the Road Administration signed a contract for the construction of a roundabout at the junction of Reykjanesbraut and Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkurveg. The project is a collaboration between the Road Administration, the Municipality of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and utility companies.\u00a0 Contractors have already set up a site camp in the area and are currently preparing for the works. The project will begin with the relocation of various pipelines and the installation of a bypass, before construction of the bridge itself commences.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eIt is very pleasing to see the construction get underway, and it is very encouraging how quickly the project is due to be completed.\u201c<\/em> says Haraldur L. Haraldsson, Mayor of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur<em>. \u201eWe have high hopes that the work will meet its deadlines and that at the beginning of November, the junction will be fully operational. This project has a significant and positive impact on the local community and business life in this area, and the execution and pace of the work are hopefully a model for future roadworks in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. \u201cTraffic through the area has increased manifold and there is a great need for further works on at least two roundabouts, the dualling of roads and more connections in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.\"<\/em> says Haraldur.<\/p>\n<p>VS\u00d3 r\u00e1\u00f0gj\u00f6f ehf. will carry out the supervision, having submitted the lowest bid for this work at 19.4 million kr\u00f3na. The estimated contractor cost was 21 million kr\u00f3na. The project itself costs much more, but Loftorka ehf. and Su\u00f0urverk ehf. jointly submitted the lowest bid of 918 million kr\u00f3na, while the estimated contractor cost was around 817 million kr\u00f3na. Various costs for the project's preparation and design are also added. The work involves the construction of a grade-separated junction at the intersection of the Reykjanesbraut and Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkurvegur, as well as all road and path construction necessary to complete the project. The works also include alterations to Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkurveg, the construction of a connecting road to Su\u00f0urbraut and a connecting road to Selh\u00e6\u00f0. Also included is the construction of a foot and cycle path along the Su\u00f0urbraut connection and speed calming measures on Su\u00f0urbraut. The construction of noise barriers on the Reykjanesbraut and in the Hellnahverfi area of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is also part of the project. The project also includes alterations to the utility networks, as well as new installations and landscaping, along with other elements necessary to complete the work.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fulltr\u00faar Hafnarfjar\u00f0arb\u00e6jar, Vegager\u00f0arinnar og verktaka a\u00f0 baki byggingar \u00e1 n\u00fdjum misl\u00e6gum gatnam\u00f3tum Reykjanesbrautar og Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkurvegar hittust \u00ed dag til a\u00f0 taka formlega fyrstu sk\u00f3flustunguna a\u00f0 framkv\u00e6mdunum.
