Road 626 in the Icelandic Westfjords used to be the main road connection between the Arnarfjörður and Dýrafjörður fjords in the area. In winter time this road wasn't always maintained that frequent and as you can see from this video, in those conditions this road would be quite the obstacle to tackle. I have driven it several times now, and it is for sure one of my favorite roads in the country. The views are stunning.
In October of 2020 the Dýrafjarðargöng tunnel was finished, and it has become the main connection between the fjords now. Safer and faster. This mountain pass will see even less maintenance now. And will be closed in winter season. So only summer drives are to be had here in the future. But, look at the views... it will never ever bore me. What a place.
