New race in Hemnes municipality – news Nordland

This is what Bjørn Erik Dambråten, who works in the technical department in Hemnes municipality, tells us. He was going to work early to see if the night’s storm had brought any consequences. But he had not got further than 400-500 meters from his own home when his chin dropped. – I was driving along the road early this morning, everything was dark and black, then suddenly I just see a hole in front of me. It was Rana Blad who first wrote about the case. Dambråten estimates that the landslide is about 30 meters long and expects the road to be closed for quite some time to come.

Dambråten managed to steer the car outside the white stripe on the opposite side, and just got past at the very inside. There he alerted the Swedish Road Traffic Centre, before calling a neighbor – who came with the tractor and blocked the road to other traffic.

There has been extreme rainfall, so these are scary times. New section of the Nordlandsbanen closed Last Thursday, the train driver was killed and four people were injured when a passenger train derailed on the Nordlandsbanen near Finneidfjord approximately three miles south of Mo i Rana. Both the train section and the E6 right next to it are currently closed, and it is unclear when they can be reopened to traffic. Now another section of the Nordlandsbanen is closed due to the risk of landslides. – It is closed between Rognan and Fauske due to the risk of landslides. New update at 10 a.m. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes, writes Bane Nor in a traffic report on Wednesday morning. All roads between north and south closed on Tuesday evening The closure of Nordlandsbanen and the E6 in Hemnes meant that the only detour options were via Sweden or via the ferry connection Nesna – Levang on county road 17. On Wednesday evening, however, there was a complete stop on both detour options. First, the ferry connection was canceled due to technical problems. The route was resumed later in the evening, but then with reduced capacity. Then the bypass through Sweden was closed when a lorry train blocked the road.
