About 400 cars queued at Tyrveli boom to come over Haukelifjell.
– There are around 6 hour wait to get westward now, says traffic operator in the State NPRA region south, Leif Christensen earlier this afternoon.
the clock 14.51 fire broke out in a trailer. This creates even longer wait.
It goes a little better from the west, he says. But the weather creates difficult conditions for all.
– The windy up in gale force winds. Besides, there is snow and poor visibility says Christensen.
Slow speed and fewer cars
This enables plowing crews bring fewer cars in the column, they run slower and therefore takes all longer.
There have been a convoy on the mountain side at 10:00 am today, and queues have gradually become larger.
– People who will over the mountains must monitor the weather and messages. They may optionally call 175, said Christensen.
He added that it is important that travelers have enough food, clothing and fuel in case they are left for hours in line.
– People must also follow column crew’s instructions. Keep your distance, but do not release from you cars ahead.
Strong wind all day
– Is there a danger that the road is completely closed?
– That’s what the crew of the mountain that must consider . They are working hard to stay open. According to forecast shall blow strongly throughout the day, and thus it becomes difficult driving conditions.
