16 August 2022 at 18:09 Norwegian Public Roads Administration closes 14 bridges Norwegian Public Roads Administration closes 14 wooden truss bridges Norwegian Public Roads Administration has decided to close 14 wooden truss bridges, pending the cause of the bridge collapse on county road 254 in Tretten becoming clear. They write that in a press release. On Monday, Tretten bridge collapsed in Gudbrandsdalen in Innlandet. – A day after the Tretten bridge on county road 254 collapsed, the cause is still unclear. After assessing the situation today, we have come to the conclusion that we must close 14 corresponding truss bridges until we know more about the cause, says road director Ingrid Dahl Hovland. Transport Minister Jon-Ivar Nygård was on an inspection on Monday after the bridge collapse. – I think it seems sensible that the Swedish Road Administration now follows the precautionary principle and closes the corresponding bridges, until they know more about the cause of the collapse. The most important thing now is to take care of safety. It must be safe to travel on Norwegian roads, says the transport minister.
