Status tells you passable, not safe. Wind is the silent variable — an open road in a 25 m/s gust is no place for a camper, so check the live gusts by stretch alongside this page. Take Vegagerðin closures as final, re-check before every pass from November to April, and when in doubt, wait it out. 112 is the emergency number everywhere in Iceland.

Frequently
asked questions

Where does this data come from?

Directly from Vegagerðin, the Icelandic Road Administration — the authority behind road.is and umferdin.is. We read their live condition feed and show their own Icelandic wording next to our English label, so you can verify any row against the official source.

How current is the status on this page?

The timestamp shown above the tables is the feed’s own most recent report time — not the moment the page loaded. The page refreshes its data every ten minutes. If we cannot reach the feed, the live sections disappear rather than showing stale data as current.

What does “Not reported” mean for a major route?

Vegagerðin’s feed lists roads with a notable condition — closures, ice, storm damage. A major paved route that is absent usually just has nothing to report, which in practice means normal driving. We still refuse to print “Open” unless the authority explicitly says so.

Are the F-roads open right now?

The F-road table on this page lists every highland road Vegagerðin is currently reporting, each linked to its own detail page. F-roads are seasonal: most open between early June and early July and close again in autumn. A 4WD is legally required on all of them.

Should I check anything else before driving in winter?

Yes — wind. Road status tells you if the road is passable; Icelandic storms can make an open road dangerous for high-sided vehicles. Check the weather warnings alongside this page, and re-check both before every mountain pass. If Vegagerðin closes a road, that decision is final.
