In Skriddal the visitor from Austra meets Jén Jaliusson and shares news of a gathering. The report notes autumn losses and a tense atmosphere with fear of unrest. Assumptions include a potential shift in power, and authorities prepare for further developments. The text references Vatnsskoga and nearby regions with mentions of dams, power lines, and planned routes in the Grimsar area.
The upper Staf road section near Seyðisfjörður has undergone grueling repairs with guard rails and regraded surfaces, a step expected to yield major benefits. A harsh winter left this chapter undone, and work across other sections may have advanced first. The long uphill stretch remains the steepest descent toward the valley.

Byggingin hófst 1973 og kostnaður metinn 465 milljónum króna, fullbyggt hlutfall um 1100 milljónir króna.

A Icelandic report notes Austurland was struck by strong winds and blizzards over four days. Seydisfjordur reported heavy storms with destroyed structures and four Austfjörð regions affected. Power and communications were disrupted, 18 poles along Austurland were broken. Officials warn of potential water supply issues and risk to Lagarfoss and Grimsá if current conditions persist. Repair delays blamed on storm severity, not weak lines.
