Borgarfjarðarbrú

Borgarfjarðarbrú extends for 520 meters across Borgarfjörður, making it the second longest bridge structure in Iceland after Skeiðarárbrú.

The construction of this major infrastructure project was completed in 1981, replacing the previous crossing point that utilized the Ferjukot bridge from 1928.

The bridge represents a significant element of Icelandic civil engineering, demonstrating the country's commitment to connecting remote communities across challenging terrain.

Located at coordinates 64.533663, -21.892426, the bridge carries Route 1 traffic and underwent substantial repairs in 2012 to maintain its structural integrity.

The bridge construction altered the route of Iceland's Ring Road, moving the crossing point 4 kilometers downstream from its previous location.
