Rockslide over Saudavegen

A rockslide has occurred over Saudavegen in Åsneset, temporarily blocking one lane until contractors removed the debris and reopened the road.

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.
