Following road closures along the south coast due to the recent glacial flood, the main Ring Road is now open again.
Repairs are currently in progress on the Ring Road east of the Skálm River, which was damaged yesterday due to flooding from the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. Approximately 700 meters of road were affected by the flooding. As of now, only single-lane traffic is permitted on the damaged section.
