Roadworks cause heavy delays on Bústaðavegur

Roadworks caused heavy traffic delays on Bústaðavegur on Wednesday, mbl.is reported, as crews milled and paved a ramp leading down to Hafnarfjarðarvegur towards Kópavogur.

The ramp was closed during the work, which began at 9 a.m. and was scheduled to finish at 5 p.m., according to the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration.

Work is planned for Thursday on Bústaðavegur at the ramp leading down to Kringlumýrarbraut. It is scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and drivers are being warned to expect delays and asked to take care and show consideration.

Asphalt repairs are also planned at the junction of Kringlumýrarbraut and Laugavegur in the southbound direction. Traffic there will be narrowed to one turning lane, with crash cushion vehicles at the work zone to direct traffic.
