Jökulsá á Dal, also called Jökulsá á Brú or Jökla, is a river in the northeast of Iceland. Of its original length of 150 km (making it the longest river in Iceland's Eastern Region),〔 25 km are now part of the artificial lake Hálslón created for the Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant. This reduced the river's discharge from 205 m³/s to 95 m³/s, consisting of water from tributaries below the dam. Before construction of the dam, the river used to transport approximately 120 t of sediment per hour into the North Atlantic. The water from the reservoir is now redirected into Lagarfljót. Due to the strong current, fording of the Jökulsá á Dal isn't possible. The first bridge (Icelandic ''brú'') was built in 1625. The current bridge of Iceland's Route 1 (''Hringvegur'') was built in 1994 when the road to Egilsstaðir was upgraded. The previous bridge still stands in some distance downstream. In the novel ''Independent People'' by Icelandic author Halldór Laxness, the protagonist Bjartur rides through the river on a reindeer.〔Sabine Barth: ''Island'' (= DuMont-Reise-Taschenbücher. 2064).
