– It’s brutal to watch people’s houses, property and homes destroyed, that’s it. That’s what Arve Hitterdal, mayor of Holtålen municipality, says, who is out on an inspection round with the director of the municipality on Tuesday morning. Now the water has gone down again in all streams and the main waterway Gaula, says the mayor. – The river is not very big either, so the situation is quite calm again. – But we see that there is some extensive damage, especially on municipal roads and private farm and village roads. And we know that some homes have had water enter their basements. This is how it looks on county road 30, 7.5 km north of Haltdalen, on Tuesday morning.

She is on a walk with the dog and thinks it is scary to see the destruction. Tina Berg did not make it to school on Tuesday morning. Photo: Jøte Toftaker / news On Tuesday morning, county road 30 was opened after being closed in two places between Støren and Røros. The E6 is still closed north of the Soknedal tunnel. During the night there has been another landslide across the road just north of the Soknedal tunnel. This is how traffic is affected on Fv 30 Støren-Røros: The road has reopened after being closed in two places between Haltdalen and Ålen due to landslides and flooding. Still a lot of water in the roadway, and in some places traffic in both directions has to pass in one lane. Adjust your speed and drive according to the conditions. Fv 705 Selbu: Opened after closure between Flora and Rollset due to landslides and flooding. A lot of water in the roadway, be aware. The E6 is still closed north of the Soknedal tunnel. According to Veidekke just before 8 o’clock, E6 may be closed for another five or six hours. The Røros line and the Dovre line are both closed. Don’t drive if you don’t have to. The Mayor says that it will still be impassable in several places. – There are some roads that have been washed away, so if you don’t need to drive, maybe you shouldn’t, he says. – There are streams in which we have hardly seen water before, which have now caused great damage. We have just sorted out a small flood we had a couple of weeks ago, so it is sad to see that it is worse now than it was then. The flood has taken a power line with it. Photo: Arne Kristian Gansmo / news On Monday evening, the municipality decided to close schools and kindergartens on Tuesday. He encourages the public to get an overview of their own injuries. – This has affected quite a few people in different ways, so it is sad to see from this morning.
