Overview
- Authorities say a massive slide at Nesvatnet in Levanger on Saturday morning removed both lanes of the E6 and tore out the adjacent Nordland railway alignment.
- Police report the missing Danish worker from the site is presumed dead, and the large multi‑agency search has shifted to a recovery operation.
- Another motorist escaped after his car plunged into the lake and was treated for minor injuries at Levanger hospital.
- The E6 and the Nordlandsbanen remain shut for several days, with heavy vehicles detouring on smaller roads or via Sweden, and nearby homes evacuated as a precaution.
- Geotechnical teams are assessing the risk of further slides, and authorities are investigating whether the ongoing Bane NOR stabilization works are connected to the failure.
