Cleanup operations have begun following a landslide on the E6 road in Innlandet, Norway.
Cleanup efforts have begun following a landslide on the E6 highway near Rosten in the Sel municipality of Gudbrandsdalen, Norway.

Emergency services are currently responding to the situation, ensuring that they can pass through while cleanup efforts are underway.
Despite the initiation of cleanup work, Eriksen noted that it is too early to determine when the E6 road will reopen for regular traffic.

Authorities are working diligently to restore normalcy and ensure safety for all road users.
The situation underscores the challenges that can arise from landslides, which can disrupt transportation and lead to significant delays.
