Closures today, beyond the passes
This board covers the mountain passes only. Every closure, impassable section and incident on the rest of the network is on road closures and alerts today, and the whole map is on today's road conditions.
Passes are cleared on a schedule, not around the clock: see snow clearing days and hours and the winter driving guide.

About this data
Status from Vegagerðin's road condition feed: a pass shows as closed when any of its sections is closed or impassable, and never as open when a section is missing from the feed. Wind is the nearest road weather station that reported in the last hour. Always confirm on umferdin.is or by phone on 1777 before crossing a pass in winter.
