The case will be updated. In total, there are between 15-20 roads in Vestland that will still be closed on Saturday morning due to flooding. It may take many hours before vegans can open again, Vegtrafikksentralen informs. A short time ago, a new road was closed due to flooding, namely county road 5394 Gjernesvegen in Voss. Fearing an avalanche – The vegans who are closed now will remain so until further notice. We don’t expect that more roads will be closed due to the flood, since it is on its way back, says Kjetil Larsen at the Road Traffic Centre. However, he believes that more roads may be closed due to mudslides. These vegans are closed in Vestland Fv 5394 Voss at Voss gymnasium. E16: Closed between Bulken and Voss.

Our encouragement is therefore the same as yesterday: If you don’t have to go out, then wait until the water recedes and we get better control. On the main road E16, there are several places where the road is impassable. In particular, there is a lot of water in Bulken-Voss, and there the water covers both lanes. Have to wait for daylight – There is also less wood, debris and rapids floating there, so here the water has to sink first and then the road has to be cleared and checked first. But first it must be light outside, says Larsen. The road is open in several places, but may be closed at short notice. This applies in Nærøydalen, says Larsen. – It’s not crazy here, but crazy enough.

During the night, they tried to limit the damage by securing with sandbags to keep the water out. It is still not possible to get a complete overview of the damage the flume has caused, but we will probably know more when it gets lighter. Voss mayor Hans-Erik Ringkjøb said on Friday evening that one was approaching the water level during the 2014 flood. That time the embarrassment led to damages worth half a billion kroner. Worked full time last night Especially in Voss and Aurland it has been full blown. In Voss, fire crews worked hard last night and are still doing so. The Civil Defense also has contributions. – We do not know how extensive the damage is after the accident. It’s something we have to look at when it gets light, says Stian Kvam in the 110 centre. No people were evacuated last night in Voss. Now fire crews are doing what they can to help people who have had water enter their houses. He does not know how many houses are involved. The situation in Odda, Eidsfjord and in Aurland calmed down on Friday evening. By then the resistance had stopped and the fire crew had control, says Kvam. The insurance company If reports that they have received 15 claims following the disaster in Western Norway. – There is an influx of insurance customers reporting vandalism in the morning hours today. We expect the number of injuries to rise considerably in the coming days, says If’s communications manager Sigmund Clementz in a press release.
