Oslo's traffic woes continue to escalate as commuters face prolonged delays due to roadworks and public transport disruptions.

Recent reports highlight significant congestion on major routes like the E18 and E6, exacerbated by temporary lane closures for geological surveys and road maintenance.

The situation is further complicated by a partial halt in train services at Oslo S, urging travelers to seek alternative transport or work from home.

Authorities, including Statens vegvesen and Ruter, are advising commuters to leave their cars at home and opt for public transport to alleviate the pressure on roads.

Despite these challenges, improvements in public transport lanes have been noted, offering some relief to bus services.

However, with the end of summer vacations, traffic is expected to remain heavy, particularly during peak hours.

Commuters are encouraged to plan their journeys outside of the busiest times to avoid delays.
