Forbedret Sikkerhet på E18

Statens vegvesen initiates a project to enhance traffic safety by replacing the ends of the side barriers along the E18 from Trollbergtjern to Melleby in Inner Østfold. The new energy-absorbing barrier ends are designed to reduce vehicle and human injuries in case of run-off-road accidents.

Utskifting av Energiabsorberende Endestykker

The construction comprises the replacement of 20 old barrier ends that are embedded in the ground with the newly designed energy-absorbing ends. These are intended to halt vehicles upon impact, thus mitigating the risk of severe consequences should a vehicle collide with the barrier ends during an incident.

Arbeidstider og Trafikkhåndtering

The replacement work started on June 20th and is expected to be completed by June 30th. The construction will take place Monday to Thursday from 07:00 to 20:00, during which the speed limit is reduced to 50 km/h. Due to heavy traffic on E18, manual traffic direction is provided near the construction site, occasionally causing disruptive noise for nearby residents. Statens vegvesen urges drivers to heed the instructions of traffic conductors and to consider construction workers' safety.
