According to the police, no closed roads have been closed as a result of a major water leak in Oslo.

Based on Avisa Oslo’s reporting, NTB wrote that roads were closed after the water leak on Sunday morning. 

However, that is not true, according to operations manager Line Skott.

“No, we have not physically closed them. We are there and are managing traffic a little,” Skott said.

The police are diverting traffic from the north end of Sagveien. Waldemar Thranes gate is open.
