There are two new pedestrian and bicycle bridges being built over the Elli\u00f0a\u00e1r<\/a> rivers in Reykjavik. They have a really cool pyramid shape and look like little suspension bridges \ud83d\ude42 They were designed by Teiknistofan Tr\u00f6\u00f0<\/a> and should be completed before the end of the month!<\/p>\n

Work on construction of new walking and bike paths which run along the northern side of Geirsnef in Reykjavik is well underway. The goal is to finish around mid-month.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to V\u00edsindavefurinn<\/a>, Elli\u00f0a\u00e1r<\/strong> were named after a boat belonging to a certain Ketilbj\u00f6rn from the settlement period \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I had forgotten that br\u00fa<\/strong> had such a strange declension, which is what attracted me to the article in the first place, when I saw the headline.<\/p>\n\n\n

From what I was able to find, it seems like Geirsnef<\/strong> is an off-leash dog park, among other things.<\/p>\n

A new walking and bike path is being built between Vogahverfi and Grafarvogur in Reykjavik and the two bridges are a part of it. They are each 36 meters long and are attached to the frame of the bridge, a pyramid, at a height of 18 meters. A competition was held to determine the appearance and implementation of the bridges and paths, with the design firm Tr\u00f6\u00f0 winning first prize.<\/em><\/p>\n

You can check out more about the design at the Tr\u00f6\u00f0 website<\/a> – lots of pictures of this project and many others they’ve worked on.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t exactly find bur\u00f0arrammar<\/strong>, but it seemed to have to do with the structural frame of the bridge if you break it into bur\u00f0ar\u00b7rammi<\/strong>, with bur\u00f0ur<\/strong> having to do with load<\/em> or weight<\/em>, and rammi<\/strong> being frame<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The path between the bridges is 280 meters long and will be fenced off from the area that dog owners use to let their dogs run around. There will be a gate in the fence so that the path is accessible to dogs and people.<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t remember ever seeing the word seppi<\/strong> for dog<\/em> before, only hundur<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42 The phrase a\u00f0 spretta \u00far spori<\/strong> seems to mean to run around<\/em> or run fast<\/em>, like a dog loose at a park I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n

There is a significant amount of walking and bike traffic over the rivers near the mouth, and it had gotten very crowded on the old bridges since there was also car traffic. The new path will be ready later in the month. The City of Reykjavik and the Icelandic Road Administration<\/a> split the costs between them – 270 million krona.<\/em><\/p>\n
