Route 1 or the Ring Road (Icelandic: Þjóðvegur 1 or Hringvegur pronounced [ˈr̥iŋkˌvɛːɣʏr̥] ⓘ) is a national road in Iceland that circles the entire country.

Eysturoy Tunnel, which opened in 2020, took four years to complete. It dramatically cut the travel time between the Faroe Islands capital on the island of Streymoy and neighboring Eysturoy island.
The distance between Reykjavík and other destinations on the north side of the fjord Hvalfjörður was reduced by 45 kilometers. It was the first tunnel in Iceland to have been financed, built and operated by a private entity and, as such, it was also the first tunnel where tolls were charged.
Near the road are a number of tourist attractions. In addition to Geysir and Gullfoss, these include volcanic crater lake Kerið and the Faxi waterfall on the Tungufljót river. The road crosses the Alviðra. The original bridge was built in 1905 and was its major improvement for the transport in its time. The current bridge was built in 1983.
