Bergensbana is closed between Hallingskeid and Myrdal due to snow avalanches. According to Bane Nor, demanding clean-up work is underway, and it will take time to clear the section. According to press officer Harry Korslund in Bane Nor, the bad weather will mean that it will take time to get crews in to clean up. The landslide occurred at Klevavatnet, and there were no trains there when the landslide occurred. Several mountain passes closed There are also problems on the mountain passes, as a result of the weather. Rev. 7 Hardangervidda, rv. 52 Hemsedalsfjellet, rv. 13 Vikafjell, fv. 50 Aurland – Hol, fv. 53 Tyin – Årdal and E6 Dovrefjell are all closed. On the E134 Haukelifjell there is column driving. E16 Filefjell is open. It is also rv. 15 Strynefjell, but here it can be closed at short notice. Full stop on E39 There was full preparedness before the storm was forecast throughout the night. In Agder, there was a complete standstill on the E39 on Thursday evening due to heavy snow, but during the night the precipitation has turned to rain. – There have been no incidents related to the weather or the road last night. It turned to rain quite early, so it’s mostly just roads. It will be exciting to see when the morning rush hits, whether it will have any effect on the traffic, says the operations leader in the Agder police. Vegtrafikksentralen states that it is on the mountain passes that there are challenges in the morning hours. In the lowlands, driving conditions have been fair throughout the night. – People should be aware of excess water. There has been a lot of rain during the night, says traffic operator Tove Wåsjø at the Road Traffic Centre.
