Vik i Myrdal
South Iceland, |
A flash flood swept away the bridge
across Múlakvísl river on Mýrdalssandur in South Iceland. This affects
traffic on Highway 1 (the Ring Road) about 10 km east of the village Vík,
between Höfðabrekka from the West, and Skálm from the East. The beautiful Route F208 - Fjallabaksleið nyrðri - is open. This is a mountain road that will take travelers north of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, but travelers should be aware that the road is only passable for 4x4 vehicles. A specially equipped bus and trucks have
started a free service ferrying smaller two-wheel-drive cars and their
passengers over the affected river crossing. The daily bus service to
Kirkjubæjarklaustur, Skaftafell and Höfn now runs through
Fjallabak nyrðra (RouteF208) until connection across Múlakvísl has
been restored. |
