Tryggvagata

The city centre of Reykjavik has been enhanced in recent years and new streets and buildings have been added. Older streets have also undergone a renewal of their lifetimes. Secure Street is part of making our city better, more human-friendly, more beautiful, and more accessible for active travel.

Why is that?

The renovation of Tryggvagata is

now underway, both underground and underground, as well as a new and beautiful surface. Implementation is changing the street's outlook for the better and improving access for visitors, residents, and businesses, as well as product release facilities. The outcome will be a more stylish and accessible Tryggvagata with a sunny resort area. The street after execution will be a better platform for living human life in the area, supporting the wide range of services available in the area.

- When?

The project will be implemented in three phases. The first stage is the Tryggvagata in front of the Customs House and Naustin, which was started in 2020, the second stage is the Tryggvagata to the Rough in 2021 and the third stage is the Rough which will be implemented in the spring of 2022.

Tryggvagata will be reconstructed between Post Office Street and the Rough. Naustin will be reconstructed between Tryggvagata and Geirsgata.

Work will

continue on beautifying and restoring the Secure Street. From the restored Town Square and Stone Pier you will continue to the west to Naustum. The area in front of the Customs House is sunny and there will be a spectacular public space. Naustin will also be reconstructed from Tryggvagata to Geirsgata. In 2021, it is then planned to win the last stage from Naustum to the Rough.

It is expected that bids for the project will open in May and that the contractor will be able to start work in June. It is estimated that the works on the remodeling of the Secured Street from the Rough to the Post Office Street will cost SEK 450 million. The work is carried out in partnership with Provider.

Mosaic Works of Model Holy Daughter at the Customs House

The

mosaic work of Model Holy Daughter at the Customs House will, at the end of its execution, be allowed to enjoy itself better than before. Underneath the work of art, there will be a square that lays extremely by the sun and is therefore suitable as a resort area for pedestrians. The area will also have small fog sprayers that offer play and provide the area with a certain amount of mystery.

The mosaic image

The

mosaic on the south side of the House of Customs was installed nearly half a century ago, in the summer of 1973. When the work came into the land, the architect of the house, Hostis Halldor, said that the image lifted up the face of the street of Tryp. There are words to prove it, and it will do it even better at the end of execution. The artwork will be illuminated and the mosaic stones will be allowed to better enjoy themselves than before on this 142 square metre surface.

He was a pioneer in three-dimensional abstract art in the country and also a pioneer in glass art. The artist died two years after the Customs Housework was finished, only 47 years old. Her memory will live on in the work of art, now at a beautiful, lush and sunny square.

Attractive city charm

Vibrant and versatile public spaces and an attractive cityscape are the guiding principles for this implementation, the main goal of the Main Estimates. The recently adopted Safeguarding Street Sharing Plan brings out these highlights of the Master Plan, as well as improving the quality of the environment. Architecture and art in the street are becoming more prominent and pedestrians are given additional space.

The CoR and the Provider are working jointly on new procedures for implementation in the city centre. Good accessibility during the implementation phase and a useful source of information during the implementation phase will be in anticipation.

The water supply, heat supply and electricity supply pipelines will be renovated. Many of these have come back to their years, but the schoolyards and cold water mains date back to 1925, so they've been serving downtown residents and businesses for nearly a century.
