how it looks on Highway 13 Thursday morning.
On Wednesday evening raged large parts of Highway 13 into Granvinsvatnet. During the night, new parts collapsed, and Thursday morning rages still.
– We’re headed down to rasstedet now and will during the day prepare a strategy for how to solve this short and long term. The short-term solutions are to adopt the old county road 572, from the fjords to Voss. Another solution maybe we can achieve in a short time, often just a few days, is to lay the road by rasstedet onto cropland. When we depend on the reason not breed further. Getting repaired road past rasstedet permanently will be a long and arduous task, says project manager Lars Magnar Røneid NPRA.
Two reports
Public Roads Administration has had two geotechnical reports on rasstedet but none of them foresaw what happened at Granvinsvatnet.
– the reports pointed out some measures that have been implemented. This violent slippage came as a result of work on the road. We knew there was a lot of muddy masses and that the reason was bad, but not that it would have such consequences, says Røneid.
– It breeds still
– I was on the spot to clock 01.30 at night, and we are here now with three men. It slid into the night, and it rages still, says Egil Holven to BT at 7:30 o’clock Thursday. He is the fire chief in Granby, Eidsfjord and Ulvik.
Holven says that large parties is washed on Granvinsvatnet during the night. He estimates that there may be talking about a third more than that collapsed Wednesday night.
– We are talking about large amounts of mass, he says to BT.
– We have no idea what has happened. The entire road is washed away or buried. We have now sealed off, said guard operator Marius Raab NPRA to BT after the slide on Wednesday night.
Posting booms
Two excavators went on Granvinsvatnet Wednesday night. Fire chief Egil Holven and crews in the local fire protection has had a tough time after the message came.
– On Wednesday evening we worked to put out booms, and this work is still in progress Thursday morning, telling brannsjefen.Det is much fish in Granvinsvatnet and fire department says that it is important to prevent oil and fuel from the excavator does not leak into the water.
– Currently we have no leaks, and several hundred meters of booms are out, says he said.
“Low risk” last year
Why patch of road ended in Granvinsvatnet Wednesday night, is not yet clear, but it is known that reason largely consists of clay. Last year concluded NPRA that there was little risk that this would happen.
– A possible reason is perhaps not correct anymore that road project not be able to slip out, said project director Kjartan Hove to BT on Wednesday night.
on Wednesday morning be entrepreneur and people from NPRA on inspection, together with the contractor.
Two hour detour
Road Traffic Management Centre says that only detour is via county road 7 and E16. That means the trip between Granvin and Voss, which normally takes half an hour, now takes two hours and 30 minutes.
No follower of Bergen – Voss
Previously Bike Bergen – Voss gone on highway 13 which is now collapsed. But in last year’s race was plunging added something about.
– After Hardanger Bridge came is crossed by Vallavik Tunnel been challenging for us. Previously, when it went ferry across the Hardanger Fjord, came cars in batches. Now it’s more a steady stream of cars at high speed, says Nils Olaf Solberg, CEO of Bergen Cykleklubb.
Therefore, using the now cycle route, which passes Granvinsvatnet opposite.
– the cycle is paved and in good condition, says Solberg.
He said the race administration has good cooperation with the NPRA.
– we are in close contact with the road authorities, so that we can find good solutions together, says Solberg.
