On Wednesday evening, a large landslide occurred on the E14 between Meråker and Stjørdal. A little later, there was another landslide near Ulsberg on the E6 near Oppdal in the very south of Trøndelag. Now the main road between Trondheim and Oslo is closed, and 28 trucks are trapped inside the collapse area. The drivers have been evacuated from the area and are now waiting to see when they can drive again.

The geologists have invaluable expertise there, says communications adviser Lars Olve Hesjedal in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to NTB. E14 between Stjørdal and Meråker is closed due to landslides and flooding. Further south in Trøndelag, the E6 is closed between Berkåk and Ulsberg for the same reason. It is currently uncertain when the roads can be opened again. – All road users can rest assured that we will not reopen until the geologists say it is safe. Our mission is to keep the roads open, but it must be safe, says Hesjedal. Was hit next by the landslide Also in Meråker on the E14, the road is still closed after a major landslide on Wednesday evening. – It was a very dangerous situation. We were very scared and very lucky at the same time, says Said Abuwarda. He and his seven-year-old son were on their way to Hommelvik when soil and large trees fell into the road just a few meters in front of them at the municipal border between Stjørdal and Meråker. – I braked immediately. My boy cried because he was scared. There was a lot of rain on the road and poor visibility, so Abuwarda blocked the road with his car and put on his hazard lights to warn oncoming cars.
