Tage Skjaak Moen and his wife were weighed down by the collapse last night. – We woke up to the noise, I went out on the veranda to look and then I saw that the cars started driving slowly past and finally it came to a complete stop. Just west of Skjolden, the river overflowed last night. When Moen, who lives nearby, came to the town, he was greeted by water, logs and stones. – At the crossing by the bridge, where the water is actually supposed to flow under, it has been filled with water, and masses of soil have flown over. Major clean-up job No houses, people or animals should be caught in the water, the police say. It is not yet clear how much damage the flume has caused. – It’s hard to say, but I see that the neighbor’s yard down the road is filled with rubble, so they probably have a good clean-up job ahead of them, says Moen, Closed for several hours to come The contractor is now on site , informs Vegtrafikksentralen west. An excavator must clear and get the water masses back into the river. The job will take a few hours, but the West Police District informs just before 08:00 that the road is open for manual routing.
