F946 Loðmundarfjörður
Highland mountain road · 4x4 only · updated
Current conditions
Open.
Updated · from Vegagerðin.
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)
~53 km one-way · roughly 1h 45m - 2h 55m 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 F946 can easily take longer. Always confirm the live status above and budget significant extra time.
