Malvik: an interesting landslide on the E6 highway in Norway<\/h4>\n

On Wednesday 4 May 2022 an interesting landslide occurred on the E6 highway near to Malvik in Norway<\/a>.\u00a0 The site of the landslide appears to be 63.403, 10.804.\u00a0 The best image that I have found of the landslide has been posted on the nettavisen.no site<\/a>:-<\/p>\n

One person was caught up in the landslide.\u00a0 Fortunately he was recovered from the landslide in a conscious condition.\u00a0 An image from tv2 shows the impact of the landslide on the road<\/a>:-<\/p>\n

As per the comments below, there is also a Google Streetview of the site: https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/x1TmWHaaTZj6Msi98<\/a><\/p>\n

It is probably very fortunate that there were not more casualties from this serious incident, given that it occurred at about 1 pm local time.<\/p>\n

It is clear from the images that the landslide occurred at a site of ongoing groundworks, and indeed the injured individual worked for a subcontractor at the site.\u00a0 Note the backhoe located immediately below the back scarp of the landslide, heavily tilted, suggesting a rotational failure that has transitioned into an earthflow.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the landslide 100 local residents were evacuated from areas around the site, but they have now been allowed to return home.\u00a0 The E6 road is now closed.<\/p>\n

The online newspaper nrk.no reports that this stretch of road has ongoing works for the construction of a new motorway<\/a>.\u00a0 The most recent Google Earth image of the site, from September 2018, shows that the site was forested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
