Before you drive
Local notes from the Færð og Veður team
Öxnadalsheiði, west of Akureyri, is the mountain crossing between Akureyri and the rest of the Ring Road westwards, and the section most likely to be slippery or closed.
Eastbound, the Ring Road goes through the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel, which has a toll.
North along Eyjafjörður, Route 82 to Dalvík and Ólafsfjörður passes Ólafsfjarðarmúli, which can be closed by avalanche risk in winter.
