The Road Traffic Center is continuously assessing the opening of several roads that were closed at the weekend, as a result of flash floods and landslides. On Monday morning, 35 roads were closed, most due to avalanches, landslides, rock falls and ice fall. A full overview is available at vegvesen.no. Most of the mountain crossings are also open on Monday morning. Jan Audun Marø, traffic operator at the Road Traffic Center, says that the opening of various road sections will continue to be considered beyond Monday. – We have a number of roads that are still closed due to landslides and avalanches, he says. The risk of flash floods and landslides is expected to decrease from Monday morning. On Sunday evening, NVE said that the peak had probably been reached and that the rivers had started to flatten out and go down. Over the course of the week, there is also a trend towards colder weather, which reduces the risk of frostbite.
