Despite the difficult climatic conditions that make it difficult for the inhabitants of Nesköipstadur to communicate with other parts of Iceland, the city, thanks to the abundant population of herring in the coastal waters and the established fish processing industry (salting), eventually became a significant trade center on the east coast. Neskøipstadur is connected to the ring road by Route 92, but this steep and winding road is difficult to navigate in winter. To simplify travel along the highway, a tunnel was built on it in 1972-1977.
