495 krónur to drive over the new Ölfusá Bridge
Drivers in Iceland will have to pay 495 krónur to cross the newly constructed Ölfusá Bridge.
The recent completion of the Ölfusá Bridge, a significant infrastructure project in Iceland, allows drivers to cross the Ölfusá River easier. The toll for using the bridge has been set at 495 krónur per crossing. This fee is expected to contribute to the maintenance and operational costs associated with the bridge, which is a crucial connection for both local traffic and tourism. The introduction of this toll reflects broader trends in infrastructure financing, particularly in areas with limited government resources. Strategic investments like the Ölfusá Bridge are vital for enhancing connectivity across the region and supporting economic growth in Iceland, especially given the tourism industry's importance to the national economy.
