Typical opening
Opens around 15 Jul
From Vegagerðin's 2021–2025 opening record (source) - not a guarantee. Each year's date is set after inspection and shifts with snowpack. Always confirm the live status before you drive.
Route length (estimate)
~286 km one-way · roughly 9h 32m - 15h 53m 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 F910 can easily take longer. Always confirm the live status above and budget significant extra time.
