| Abstract: |
Following an enormous flooding event in the Skaftá glacial river in the south of Iceland in 2015, which severely damaged the existing bridge, a new network arch bridge has been designed, constructed and opened in 2019 to restore a much-needed road connection across the river adjoining the Main Ring Road. The 79 m long bridge, designed by EFLA in cooperation with the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration, is the first network arch bridge in Iceland. |
