A bypass around Selfoss on Route 1 would improve living conditions in Selfoss, pollution in the town would decrease and accessibility to services would be better as the traffic through Selfoss falls.
Lífsskilyrði íbúa á Selfossi myndu batna, draga myndi úr mengun innanbæjar og aðgengi að þjónustu yrði betra í kjölfar minni umferðar í gegnum bæinn.
