There is a lot of loose snow, and when there is little wind to, say trafikkoperatør Håvard Langmo at Vegtrafikksentralen.
at the same time reports Orbit, Nor that the also Nordlandsbanen is closed to traffic. It makes that the options are few, for those who are going to have to get between the north and the south.
– You can not run via Sweden because of the closed borders. The only detour is highway 17 along the coast, but it is a very long detour with two ferries, says Langmo.
the Situation has resulted in long queues on both sides of the closed section, informs the Vegtrafikksentralen.
