In June last year, the popular tourist route with the hairpin swings was closed immediately when a stone thundered down the mountain side and hit a car. The tourism industry lost huge sums because of the closure and had to lay off. Now, the Trollstigen will last the assassination, and the transport committee was given the choice between two alternatives: Either that the road will be all year -round for a year and a half or that the racial protection will be carried out over a period of three seasons with open roads in June and July. The last option is more expensive. The Transport Committee proposes that the work be done over three seasons, but where the road is open from June 1 to August 15. “We do this because August is an important month of a lot of tourists and a lot of traffic,” said the leader of the Transport Committee, Hans Olav Myklebust (Frp) when he submitted the proposal. Save Liv will be lost Trollstigen is one of the most visited destinations in the country, but it is not safe to drive here at all. In recent years, more vehicles have been hit by stone and the county road manager has been afraid that Liv will be lost. There have also been several races that have destroyed the roadway and the landslide activity is increasing. In recent years, there have been more stone breeds in the Trollstigen which has hit the vehicle.

Throughout the autumn, mountain protectors have resolved huge boulders to make the road safer. The goal is for the Trollstigen to be able to open again for this year’s tourist season. Møre and Romsdal county council have considered the trolling trollstig by laying the road in the tunnel, but it becomes too expensive. Instead, one has chosen the so -called mountain protection alternative. But that means that one must reduce the opening time while the work is done. Now the politicians will keep the road open for as long as possible. The result is that the road will be closed from August 15. More expensive alternative foreside no one can say how much more expensive it will be to keep the road open all the way to August 15. But it will be more expensive, and Møre and Romsdal county council are in a very difficult financial situation. – I think it is difficult to go for this. I do not want us to throw out the eyes of people. And we should not do anything that weakens the security, Hanne Notøy (Ap) said during the meeting of the Transport Committee on Wednesday.

But Torgeir Dahl (H) supported the proposal. – We have to find a balance and try to make the most of it. I am totally united in the fact that the backdrop comes first.
