A rockslide took place on Saudavegen near Åsneset, according to police reports. The incident is located on the suldal side of the road between Ropeid and Sauda. Authorities are on-site to ensure safety and manage traffic until contractors arrive to clear the rocks. The rockfall has resulted in the blockage of one traffic lane, creating disruptions for motorists in the area.

Late Friday evening, police confirmed that contractors were working to restore the roadway for safe travel. The efforts of the contractors were aimed at removing the stones to enable the reopening of the affected lane. As road safety protocols were implemented, the police played a critical role in managing the situation and facilitating the flow of traffic while ensuring public safety.

On Saturday morning, the Vegtrafikksentralen announced that the road had been cleared and was open for normal traffic once again. This quick resolution mitigated the potential for prolonged disruptions and underscored the efficacy of emergency response teams in dealing with natural hazards that affect roads in Norway.
