Ölfusárbrú

The Ölfusárbrú bridge stretches 84 meters across the Ölfusá River, connecting different parts of the Sveitarfélagið Árborg municipality through its steel construction.

The current structure replaced the original 1891 bridge after its eastern bearing cables broke under the weight of two trucks in September 1944.

The bridge serves as a central meeting point for residents of Selfoss and enhances connections between communities along the Ölfusá River banks.

The bridge accommodates both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, providing essential access to local services, businesses, and agricultural areas in the region.

Engineers completed the construction of the new bridge in just five and a half months during 1945, while maintaining temporary repairs on the old structure.
