There has been a lot of snow in Troms in the last 24 hours. On Monday morning, two roads in Sør-Troms are closed due to avalanches. This applies to: Fylkesveg 8290 at Nødsfjellet/Luspevárri in Tjeldsund Fylkesveg 825 between Foldvik in Gratangen and Strete in Tjeldsund. The landslide is said to have occurred last night, and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration is assessing whether the sections can be reopened at 10 a.m. on Monday. This is what it looks like on county road 825 at Sandstrand, a few kilometers from the place where an avalanche closes the county road.

At the Bjørnefjell mountain crossing on the E10 in the north of Nordland, there is convoy driving. In Finnmark, the road authorities are responsible for snow drifts, reduced visibility and slippery roads on a number of roads: E69 Nordkapp – Hønsa in Porsanger. E6 Hatter in Hammerfest/Porsanger. Fv. 98 Ifjordfjellet in Lebesby/Gamvik/Tana. Fv. 888 Bekkarfjord – Hopseidet in Lebesby. Fv. 8830 Leirbotnvatn – formerly 8830 Nyvoll in Alta. The Swedish Road Administration also warns of difficult driving conditions on the county roads in Senja. The reason is a snow pike. On county road 7862 in Kaperdalen on Senja, it is being assessed whether convoy driving is necessary to clear the traffic safely across the island.
