On Thursday morning, police report problems on the roads in various parts of the country as a result of the weather.
– So far last night we have had a small handful of tasks related to difficult driving conditions. Right now, the biggest problem is on Ring 3 hill from Bryn, where a couple of trucks are struggling in the snow. We are on site to help with the flow of traffic, he wrote Oslo Police on Twitter night to Thursday.
There were also problems with a trailer at Skulleruddumpa at E6.
– At the E6 exit after Alnabru, there are also several trailers that are fighting on the line. Here we are also on the site. Plow crews work full time throughout the district, Oslo police say.
Problems for the routes
The routes warn of delays in bus traffic.
– There are challenges in traffic this morning. There are some delays. We encourage travelers to pay close attention to the trip planner and keep track of the deviation reports that are posted. We’ll update you as soon as possible, says press contact Øystein Dahl Johansen at Ruter to Dagbladet.
Veitrafikksentralen Øst reports that it snowed heavily in Oslo, Viken and Innlandet last night, and that it will continue throughout the day.
– We encourage road users to adapt their speed to the conditions and calculate overtime. The entire crew is taking action, they wrote on Twitter at 5.30am Thursday morning.
– It will go slower
At 0640, Oslo police chief operating officer Rune Hekkelstrand told Dagbladet that traffic on the main roads “apparently flows well”, but that there have been individual episodes where trucks have stopped overnight.
– Has improved on the spot. Right now the biggest challenge is at Strømsveien in Vålerenga where it is very slippery. Work is underway to put a chain on one or more buses that cannot pass without it, and there is a traffic stop.
During the night, the biggest challenges were related to Ring 3 up to Manglerud.
– There have been several trucks that have stopped and have had to chain themselves to get on.
Snow weather is expected to continue.
– From experience, people are good at adjusting speed to conditions and taking it into account, but we expect it to go slower in traffic today than on a normal day.
Closed mountain passes
All mountain passes between East Norway and West Norway are also closed on Thursday morning, and it is unclear when they will be able to open, according to NTB.
The Southeastern Police District reports on Twitter about downhill racing and a stuck trailer at Høgåsveien in Notodden.
Night to Thursday informed Veitrafikksentralen Nord that the E6 in Saltfjellet and the county road 890 in Kongsfjordfjellet had to be closed due to bad weather. The latter was opened for the driving of columns 06.30.
The clear call from the police is that motorists who have set out on the road be prepared:
– We recommend that all motorists adapt their speed to the conditions, and that trucks have a chain available, writes the Oslo police district on Twitter.
