(Newspaper Valdrez): The waters cover a sad and sad scene when the great waters are calm.
Vestreslidring and construction manager in Innlandet county municipality, Håvard Ødegård, said the county road past the site was closed on Tuesday due to high water levels in the river.
– There is nothing we can do, this is a very demanding situation. We have a lot of skilled workers, but we have to wait and see what happens in this case, says Odegaard, who feels helpless against the mighty forces of nature.

The bridge stands
– Entry with mechanical equipment is not possible and only water should be allowed to pass. When the situation calms down again you can create the position.
Ødegård doesn’t know if the bridge is still standing, but sources contacted by newspaper Valdres on Wednesday midday said the bridge is standing, while the road is being gradually washed away.
– It will dig in soon, so we have to take stock when the water masses calm down, says construction manager Ødegård.
total damage
The consequences of such a great flood are great. Although the bridge is still standing at the time of writing, it may eventually give way to the Åbjøra water masses.
– It may seem like we are heading towards a completely damaged bridge, says Ødegård, who is responsible for several county roads in the interior.
The road around the bridge is flooded and the damage is extensive.
