Ferjesambandet fylkesvei 17 Nesna-Levang is temporarily assisted by a ferry from another association, so that the ferries can run, writes NRK.
The second bypass through Sweden was closed due to a train blocking the road, but has now reopened, according to the national broadcaster.
Very bad weather has also been reported on national highway 73 above Krutfjellet. The meteorologists have issued an orange warning about very strong gusts of wind in Lofoten, as well as parts of Vesterålen and Salten, from 8pm on Tuesday evening.
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration says that there are technical problems on one of the ferries between Nesna and Levang, so even when the weather improves, there will be limited capacity on this stretch.
– With this demanding situation, we would recommend road users to stay at home. Those who have to travel should check the Swedish Road Administration’s website first, says Langmo.
The E6 in Hemnes has been closed since Thursday, when a train derailed on the Nordlandsbanen after it hit a rock slide that had crossed the track and landed next to the European road. The locomotive driver died and four people were injured in the accident. The clean-up work is demanding and Nordlandsbanen will, according to Bane Nor, be closed for the rest of the week.
