Smooth roads lead to Ruter canceling a number of bus departures in full or in part in Oslo and Akershus on Wednesday. Ruter said earlier on Wednesday that public transport would run mostly as normal, but that will not be the case. – It is very slippery on the roads in some places in Oslo and Akershus. This creates challenges for some of our bus traffic, says communications manager Cathrine Myhren-Haugen in Ruter. This means that several bus routes will be completely or partially cancelled. When a bus route is partially cancelled, this means that the bus does not serve all stops. At Kirkeveien in Oslo, the buses are lined up.

Several problems are reported on ring 2 in Oslo. In Uelands gate, a bus was standing across. Also on Kirkeveien by Marienlyst, the buses are lined up and can’t get out of the spot. In Akershus, there are demanding driving conditions in the areas of Slemmestad and Røyken, as well as some roads in Asker and Bærum. Ruter encourages travelers to use the journey planner before leaving home on Wednesday. – Unfortunately, many travelers are affected, says the communications manager at Ruter. Several of the buses in Oslo are not in traffic. Here from Bentsebrugata at Torshov in Oslo.

Op E18 near Fornebu there have been several traffic accidents. Both the E18 towards the city and on-ramps towards the E18 are affected. Just after 06:00 a car ended up on its roof on the E6 in Moss. The accident occurred north of Mosseporten in the northbound direction. There have also been two traffic accidents at Hanekleiva in Holmestrand. There are no injuries. Shortly after 08.30 the cars were recovered and the road was open. From Hanekleiva in Holmestrand. Photo: The Swedish Road Administration Hans Gustav Møvik Olsen, traffic operator at Vegtrafikksentralen East, which covers Østfold, Akershus, Buskerud and Innlandet, says it is busy. – The road standard on the major roads has been within the requirement, but the smaller county roads around the district, which have been covered in snow and where it is now raining, have become very slippery in a short time. – If you are going out for a drive on these smaller roads, I would think twice about whether I really have to drive. It can be very slippery there. Drive according to the conditions and keep a good distance to the car in front. Expect delays and allow plenty of time, he adds.
