E6 in Sørfold is closed in both directions

E6 in Sørfold is closed due to a foreign truck blocking the road after an incident in a tunnel.

E6, a major highway in Sørfold, Norway, is currently closed in both directions after a foreign truck became stuck in a tunnel. According to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, the truck is blocking the road completely, which has resulted in significant traffic build-up since the closure began around 10:45 AM. Traffic operator Renate Aanes reported that recovery vehicles are on their way from Bodø to resolve the situation.

The closure of E6 has caused considerable delays for travelers, as vehicles are unable to pass the stranded truck, forcing many to wait in long queues inside the tunnel. The incident highlights the potential dangers and complexities of road travel, particularly in tunnels where space is limited. Such incidents can disrupt local transport and raise concerns about the safety of large vehicles traversing narrow passageways.

Authorities are working diligently to clear the blockage and restore normal traffic flow as quickly as possible. As the situation develops, updates will likely be provided to inform travelers of the expected reopening timeframe. For now, drivers are advised to seek alternate routes to avoid further delays and congestion in the area.
