Bergensbanen closed this evening, without alternatives
Bergensbanen is closed between Dale and Arna due to a landslide, with no alternative transport options available.
The Bergensbanen railway line has been closed between Dale and Arna following a landslide that affected one of the tracks at Trengereid station. This closure is part of ongoing safety measures as authorities assess the situation. The Norwegian railway operator, Bane Nor, is expected to provide further updates but has already confirmed that the line will remain closed without alternative transport options for affected passengers.
In addition to the railway closure, the E16 road between Dale and Trengereid is also shut down due to the risk of further landslides. This creates significant travel disruptions in the region, affecting both local commuters and long-distance travelers. The authorities are taking precautionary measures to ensure public safety and will continue to monitor the conditions closely.
A new evaluation of the Bergensbanen is planned for midnight, at which point the railway operator will reassess the situation and determine whether it is safe to reopen the line. In the meantime, passengers and travelers are advised to seek alternative routes and stay informed about updates from Bane Nor to avoid further inconveniences, highlighting the challenges posed by weather-related incidents in the region.
