The E6 highway is currently closed at Rosten, north of Sel in Gudbrandsdalen, due to a significant rockslide that occurred late Wednesday evening. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration reported the rockslide at 11:17 PM, which has resulted in traffic being halted in both directions. Currently, there have been no reports of injuries, as confirmed by Per Solberg, the project leader from the Innlandet police district.

Authorities are assessing the situation and have indicated that the road will remain closed overnight, with expectations for reopening on Thursday during daylight hours, pending a geology assessment. The police are considering deploying personnel to the site to assist in redirecting certain vehicles, particularly heavy trucks, that may be stranded due to the closure. Rosten is known for its narrow and steep stretch of road that lies on the border between the municipalities of Sel and Dovre, making it a challenging area during such incidents.

Traffic disruptions and road closures can have significant implications for transport and logistics in the region, particularly since the E6 is a major route through Norway. The swift response by the authorities aims to ensure the safety of travelers and to clear the debris as soon as it is safe to do so. More updates are expected following the geological evaluation, as the area is periodically susceptible to such natural events.
