Shortly after 6 p.m., a caller alerted the rescue service that provincial road 1075 in Gideå, Örnsköldvik, was breaking down.
– The person has seen that the road begins to give way by a river, and he himself has managed to block the traffic for the moment. We are on track to block until the Swedish Transport Administration arrives and takes over, says Viktor Kvanne, internal commander of the rescue service in Örnsköldsvik.
The Swedish Transport Administration has received several alerts about events as a result of rainy weather during the day.
On road 1067 in Arnäs, the road is completely closed after it was flooded. Pass not possible, the Swedish Transport Administration writes on their website, resulting in a very large traffic impact.
The bodies of water make their way in the middle
The E4 between Nordmaling and Örnsköldsvik is also flooded. There is a temporary speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour.
On Monday, strong winds caused power outages in Västerbotten that left thousands of people without power, writes SVT.
Earlier in the day, the water flowed through a road in Örnsköldsvik, in Harnacken in Svedjeholmen, where Mariola Grzelczak lives. Allehanda has previously reported on this.
– First I saw water running down the road, and a few seconds later I saw a deep hole in the road. The road started to break up, pieces fell off, she says.
Before the evening, he began to worry that cars might unknowingly pass through the hole and began warning neighbors in the area. They were helped to place a bench across the street to obstruct traffic.
– If someone were to drive down the road when it gets dark it could be a big disaster. There has never been so much water here, says Mariola Grzelczak.
