Snow and Avalanche Risks Close Roads

Published: 2024-12-25

Severe weather conditions in Finnmark, Norway, have led to the closure of several roads, including the main route between Bekkarfjord and Hopseidet.

Authorities shut down Fylkesvei 888 due to high avalanche risks, with a reassessment planned for Christmas Day.

The road is a vital connection for the Nordkinn Peninsula, home to thousands of residents.

Heavy snow and strong winds have also caused disruptions on other roads in the region.

Drivers are urged to stay updated on road conditions and avoid unnecessary travel.
