- Vei 300 from the junction with Vei 501 south to Sverdrupbyen, and buildings in and around Sverdrupbyen down towards Huset
A rockfall has come down across Road 300. The road is therefore closed, and Sysselmesteren (the Governor of Svalbard) has introduced a ban on travel.
Sysselmesteren has therefore introduced a ban on travel and stopping on the following stretches:
Road 300 from the junction at Road 501 and south all the way up to Sverdrupbyen. The ban applies on the upper side of the road on the same stretch.
Buildings in and around Sverdrupbyen down towards Huset.
The ban does not apply to staying in Huset, provided the entrance from the river side is used.
The ban applies from 29 October 2026 at 13:30 until further notice.
