Challenges on the roads
The onset of autumn presents a number of challenges on the roads of Oslo and Viken. Leaves, wind and rain have caused a lot of water on the road. In several places, felled trees block traffic.
The Oslofjord tunnel in Frogn and Asker in Viken is closed due to flooding. Vegtrafikksentralen claims that the tunnel will remain closed for some time.
The E6 between Trosterud and Furuset in Oslo in the direction of Gardermoen was also partially closed for a time due to the large amount of water.
– We have some floods here and there and trees downed, Norwegian Public Roads Administration traffic operator Mikael Olsen tells NTB at 7.45am on Saturday.
– In addition, the Follotunnelen in the direction of Moss is closed due to traffic accidents, he adds.
Many leaves mean that the drains do not carry all the water that has passed the night.
– What our contractors do a lot is loosen clogged drains. So the water flows really well, says Olsen.

Downed trees cause problems in several places.

Prioritize the main roads
Olsen says that in the hectic morning hours, the main roads will be cleared first. Ask those on the roads to think about which route to take.
– Small roads will not be prioritized, he says.
Also on the subway section between Holmen and Hovseter, a rollover creates three delays.
– The metro must run on the opposite track, so there will be delays here, says the press officer in Sporveien, Jan Rustad to NTB.
– Now we are continuously working to eliminate it, he adds.
– Drive carefully
Vegtrafikksentralen warns about road conditions in Oslo. Among other things, a lot of water creates challenges on the E6 between Trosterud and Furuset.
Also in Follo and Upper Romerike there are downed trees and water on the roads.
– Drive carefully, encourage Vegtrafikksentralen to the east.
A yellow rain warning was sent in the eastern part of the country on Saturday. Between 40 and 60 millimeters of rain are expected in 12 hours.
