Parliament seeks road closure through year-end

The road outside the Faroese Parliament will need to remain closed to traffic until the end of the year while its administration building is renovated, KVF reports.

Part of Tinghúsvegur, the road outside the Parliament, had been scheduled to close until 20 November. Parliament Speaker Johan Dahl said the Parliament had asked Tórshavn Municipality to extend the closure.

The building is being fitted with new exterior cladding after some of its glass panels broke. Landsverk is overseeing the project, with construction company Kanjon carrying out the work.

Dahl said the renovation is expected to be completed early next June.
