Now two so-called “tung salvagers” are on their way, together with two other car salvagers, to resolve the situation. It is extremely slippery at Espa where they are now working to get the cars out of the way which means that the road is blocked in two directions.

Roadworks cause delays E6 is closed in the right lane between Langsetkrysset and Minnesundbrua in Eidsvoll in Akershus, direction Gardermoen. The reason is damage to the road network. This is going to take time to fix. – There is a bit of a queue on the bypass. Those who will drive this afternoon from Innlandet and southwards will encounter a queue – and it will probably not decrease for a while yet. That’s what traffic operator Tomas Eriksen in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration says. An alternative route to Oslo is national road 4 from Biri or county road 24 Kalsveen-Skarnes. It is very slippery and queues down from Sjusjøen to Mesnali. Photo: CHRISTIAN FOUGNER Drove while intoxicated on the E18 On the E18 at Holmestrand, traffic is now running as normal again.

Roof closed the road in Helgeland The roof of a warehouse building in Kvina in Nordland blew off and caused the county road between Eidhågen and Tonnes in Lurøy municipality to be closed for a period this afternoon – We were worried that the wind could send the roof plates onto the road and hit cars and folk. Therefore, a decision was made to block the road and secure it as soon as possible, says manager of Lurøy fire and rescue, Atle Henriksen. The road has now been cleared and secured. It was Rana Blad who mentioned the case first. The county road in Lurøy municipality has been closed this afternoon due to the roof partially lying in the roadway.

Eriksen encourages motorists to be aware. Moose have been observed in and near the roadway in several places. The E6 was initially closed in both directions in Nord-Fron due to a moose inside the game fence. After the moose made it to the forest and the road was opened, the E6 was closed in Sør-Fron due to two moose in the roadway. Both sections have been reopened. First, an elk was observed inside the game fence in the vicinity of the Teigkamp tunnel in Nord-Fron in the interior. A few hours later, the moose made it to the forest, and the road was opened. Then came the message from the Road Traffic Center that the same thing had happened in Sør-Fron. E6 was closed for a period, but reopened when the moose got to the forest. Earlier in the day, the Swedish Road Traffic Center notified that there were many moose in the roadway on national highway 3 between Stange and Løten in Inlandet. – They like the salt that we use on some of the roads. Then there is a lot of heavy snow out in the terrain. Therefore, it is much easier to walk on the road. – Be aware of several moose moving in and near the road. Slow down and drive carefully.
