Route 1 Overnight Closures Due to Roadworks

Overnight roadworks will temporarily close sections of Route 1, Iceland’s main ring road that connects most major photography destinations around the country.

This matters for landscape photographers as Route 1 is the primary access route to iconic locations including waterfalls, glaciers, and coastal viewpoints. Closures could affect travel plans, especially for those planning early morning or late evening shoots, or multi-day ring road photography tours.

  • Check exact closure times and affected sections before traveling
  • Plan alternative routes or adjust shooting schedules accordingly
  • Allow extra travel time for potential delays
  • Consider staying overnight near your planned photography locations
  • Monitor road conditions at road.is for real-time updates
