About the toll

The toll helps cover part of construction cost of the new Ring Road through Hornafjörður, as well as part of all operating costs of the infrastructure. Icelandic law authorises the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration to collect tolls for this purpose.
The revenue will be used to cover a part of construction costs and contribute towards the operation and maintenance of the new road and bridge.
Generally all vehicles travelling through the tolled section of the road are subject to the toll, including passenger cars, coaches and lorries. Certain emergency and public-service vehicles are exempt.
A toll is charged when a vehicle passes through the toll gantry by the bridge. Monitoring equipment reads the vehicle’s number plate and records the journey. The equipment is located east of the Djúpá junction.
No. The tolling system is fully electronic, with no toll booths or payment stations on the road. Cameras read the number plates of vehicles as they pass.
No toll is charged if the vehicle does not pass through the toll gantry itself.

The new road shortens the Ring Road by 12 km and reduces the distance to Höfn by even more. Three single-lane bridges have been removed from the Ring Road, leaving 26 such bridges remaining.

The project included the construction of 19 km of highway, 9 km of side roads and four new two-lane bridges. The former road will continue to serve local traffic.
Winter maintenance will be provided five days a week on Hornafjarðarvegur (Road 987) and Djúpárvegur (Road 988), every day except Tuesdays and Saturdays.
