F586 Haukadalsskarð

Typical opening

Highland F-roads typically open between mid-June and mid-July once the snow has melted and rivers drop, and close again in September (or earlier in bad weather). We don't have a dated record for this route yet - rely on the live status above.

Estimates are not a guarantee. Vegagerðin sets each year's opening after inspecting the route; a heavy winter pushes it later. Always confirm the live status before you drive.

Route length (estimate)

~29 km one-way · roughly 58m - 1h 37m driving time

A rough planning range only, from the road's real length at two flat reference speeds - it does not account for weather, the road surface on the day (potholes, washboard, mud), time spent scouting and crossing rivers (each can add 15-60+ minutes), or pulling aside for oncoming traffic on single-lane stretches. Real trips on F586 can easily take longer. Always confirm the live status above and budget significant extra time.
