  • Roadworks at Ramstadsletta on Norway’s E18 in Bærum will narrow the roadway over three consecutive weekends.
  • All traffic will be moved onto the westbound E18 carriageway while the route is reconfigured for the new E18 alignment.
  • The road authority advises motorists to avoid driving, allow extra time and consider alternative routes or transport.

The E18 at Ramstadsletta in Bærum will be narrowed over the next three weekends, and Norway’s Public Roads Administration is warning drivers to expect long queues.

All traffic will be moved onto the westbound carriageway while the road is adapted to the future E18 route. The connections between the existing alignment and the new route must be rebuilt first.

“We again urge people to leave the car at home, allow extra time and consider other routes and forms of transport while the work is under way,” said Trond Øygarden, project manager at the Public Roads Administration.

The altered traffic pattern will apply from September 11 to 13, September 18 to 20, and September 25 to 27.

We again urge people to leave the car at home, allow extra time and consider other routes and forms of transport while the work is under way.
