Hellurnar road set for December resurfacing

The 1.3-kilometre road to Hellurnar will be resurfaced in December at a cost of 500,000 kroner, KVF reports.

Landsverk, the roads agency, does not consider the road to Oyndarfjørður to be in worse condition than comparable roads. It recommends upgrading the 5.5-kilometre road in the same way as others, at a cost of 69 million kroner, excluding contingency funds.

Government minister Jacob Vestergaard gave the figures in a reply to MP Sámal Petur í Grund, who asked about traffic safety on the roads to Oyndarfjørður and Hellurnar. Landsverk recommends allocating more funding to particular roads rather than dividing smaller sums among several routes.

The minister’s response did not say when the Oyndarfjørður road would be upgraded.
