Information page for the widening of the Reykjanesbraut in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur<\/a> <\/p>\nThe dualling of the road is a joint project between the Road Administration and the Municipality of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. Preparations for the dualling began in 2013 with the construction of a pedestrian and cycle underpass at Su\u00f0urbraut, and then in 2017 with the construction of a flyover at Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkurveg.<\/p>\n
The Reykjanes Road will be dualled on the section from Kald\u00e1rsel Road west to the Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkur Road junction by building a new carriageway south of the existing road. The road will have a three-metre-wide central reservation between the carriageways with crash barriers on both sides. The road will be cut down to a depth of up to 4 metres in two sections: firstly, on the section from the current footbridge at \u00c1sland to Strandgata, and secondly, through Hvaleyrarh\u00f3ll from \u00deorl\u00e1ks t\u00fan to west of the new underpass at Su\u00f0urbraut. On that section, the path will also be slightly curved to the south. This creates room for a potential realignment of Su\u00f0urbraut by Hvaleyrarsk\u00f3li. Two recent underpasses under the Reykjanesbraut, the pedestrian one at Su\u00f0urbraut and the underpass at the flyover junction with Kr\u00fdsuv\u00edkurveg, were built for a dual-carriageway Reykjanesbraut. However, the bridge over Strandgata needs to be widened, and this is part of the works.<\/p>\n
Walking routes<\/strong><\/p>\nTwo new footbridges will be built over the Reykjanesbraut. The first will be between Hvammur and \u00c1sland, opposite \u00c1lfta\u00e1s. The second will replace the current underpass at \u00deorl\u00e1kst\u00fan. The bridges will be steel arch bridges, spanning the road in a single span.<\/p>\n
Soundproofing<\/strong><\/p>\nAlongside the widening of the Reykjanesbraut, extensive measures will be taken to reduce traffic noise in the vicinity of the road. A new noise barrier will be constructed between the Reykjanesbraut and \u00c1sbraut opposite Erlu\u00e1s. To install it, the footpath will need to be reconstructed from the end of the existing footbridge up to Go\u00f0atorg. The sound barrier on \u00c1sbraut opposite \u00c1lfta\u00e1s will also be raised where the new footbridge will be located. The sound barriers at Hvammur will be reconstructed. So-called soil cells will be used closest to the track to achieve better sound insulation. At Su\u00f0urhvamm, glass walls will also be erected on top of the embankment, extending into Strandgata. In addition, a sound barrier will be installed along the north side of the Strandgata bridge and between the slip roads at the junction. Additionally, a timber sound barrier will be installed along \u00de\u00fafubar\u00f0i where a fence currently stands. Sound insulation will also be installed in \u00deorl\u00e1kst\u00fan. In the eastern section, high embankments with soil cells will be constructed, while the western section will feature a conventional earth bund. The detailed plan for \u00deorl\u00e1kst\u00fan provides for the land to be raised from its current level. It is proposed to use surplus material from the project to raise the ground there. Finally, localised noise barriers are planned for the HS Veitur connection station opposite Su\u00f0urholt.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
