Landsverk

From the very beginning, the institution has overseen technical building projects in the widest sense for the country and its municipalities. Today Landsverk is an institution under the Ministry of Finance. Landsverk oversees road, harbour and entrepreneurial tasks. The institution consults, plans, carries out, runs and maintains main roads, harbours, buildings, helipads and the area around the airport. A bill has been passed that Landsverk inspects the public companies, the Vága tunnel and the Norðoya tunnel, that own and run the undersea tunnels under Vestmanna Sound and Leirvík Fjord. Since 1975 Landsverk has been a member of The Nordic Road Association. It is an association with more than 800 members and aims to develop road, traffic and transportation areas in cooperation with skilled workers in the Nordic countries
