All departures on the ferry connection Stakkvik-Mikkelvik north of Troms have been canceled on Tuesday due to the weather.

Work is still underway at the ferry berth at Hansnes, which was destroyed just over a week ago. The ferry site is scheduled to be completed during the week, Troms county council announced on Monday. – Troms county council is in the process of assembling the parts on the ferry quay at Hansnes. In the next few days, the quay can be completed – if all goes well and the weather does not put the brakes on the work, the county council writes in a press release. Waiting for snow on mountain passes – The low pressure will bring much milder air with it over the next 24 hours. That will make the snow line high, but then it will drop again, explains Ekrem. He says people must be prepared for snow on the mountain passes. Salfjellet, Bjørnfjellet and Krutfjellet are among the mountain passes where snow is expected. According to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, the snow line will be approximately 800 meters above sea level from Tuesday morning. Over the course of the day, the snow line will gradually drop to approximately 500 meters above sea level. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute has several recommendations in the event of a yellow danger warning: Secure loose objects Close windows and doors properly Use caution when traveling in the beach zone and on the sea Follow road signs Do not go out in a small boat They write that bridges or roads may be closed, in addition to ferry departures , flights and other transport may be cancelled.
