Hvalfjarðarvegur (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈkʰvalˌfjarðarˌvɛːɣʏr̥]) or Route 47 is a road in Iceland rounding the Hvalfjörður fjord. It was formerly part of Iceland's Route 1 (Ring Road) until it was bypassed by the Hvalfjörður Tunnel opened in 1998. The road is 61 km long. When this stretch of road was part of Route 1, it was very treacherous due to heavy traffic and difficult situations. It was not completely paved until 1990. About two years before Hvalfjörður Tunnel opened, new bridges were constructed along the route to replace dangerous single-lane bridges over the and rivers.

  • Der Hvalfjarðarvegur ist eine Hauptstraße im Hauptstadtgebiet und im Westen von Island. Bis 1998 war sie ein 61 km langer Abschnitt der Ringstraße um den Hvalfjörður nördlich von Reykjavík. Dann wurde sie durch den Hvalfjarðargöng abgekürzt und ersetzt. Jetzt ist diese Straße wenig befahren. Erst 1990 konnte die gesamte Fahrbahn asphaltiert werden. Besonders die einspurige Brücke über die Botnsá war unfallträchtig. Der Fluss stürzt landeinwärts über den Glymur, der lange Zeit als Islands höchster Wasserfall galt. (de)
  • La Route 47 (Þjóðvegur 47) ou Hvalfjarðarvegur est une route islandaise qui longe le fjord Hvalfjörður situé dans l'ouest de l’Islande entre Mosfellsbær et Akranes. (fr)

About two years before Hvalfjörður Tunnel opened, new bridges were constructed along the route to replace dangerous single-lane bridges over the and rivers. There were originally three general stores along the route. A shop at the bridge over Botnsá river was closed by the time a proper road was built. There was also a hut at Miðsand, and a third was near the Ferstikla farm, near the intersection with . Business declined with decline in traffic. Today traffic is generally low, however there is significant recreational traffic on nice summer days. There has been considerable development in tourism in Hvalfjarðarsveit in recent years, and a growing number of residents in . The road is also used as an alternative for the Hvalfjörður Tunnel, and traffic increases significantly while the tunnel is closed. The route number 47 was previously used for a short road section in Reykjanes that formed the approach to Keflavík Airport from the intersection of Reykjanesbraut (Route 41) and . This was when Route 41 designation was used for the road to Sandgerði. The road to Sandgerði was subsequently renumbered as and the airport approach road ceased using Route 47 and assumed the Route 41 designation. 64°23′34″N 21°47′57″W / 64.39278°N 21.79917°W * v * t * e * v * t * e (en)
