Athugun á rannsóknargögnum vegna vegganga til Vestmannaeyja - Geotek - Sintef

This technical brief is prepared in order to express our technical views on the possibility of constructing a sub sea road tunnel between the mainland of Iceland and the island of Heimaey based on the engineering geology experience with sub sea tunnels in Norway, Faroe Islands and the one in Iceland, Hvalfjörður tunnel. SINTEF together with Björn A. Harðarson of Geotek ehf in Reykjavik has been responsible to put the technical brief together. Furthermore, the magnitude of the probable construction cost has been assessed.
