In March 2019, Oslo and Akershus would have 53 new stations, most of them along Ring 2. However, the Norwegian Road Administration announces in a press release that the bombing projects in Oslo and Bergen will be delayed by three months.

The reason is, according to the supplier EFKON, late delivery of sensor equipment.

This delay implies postponement of the start of the exceptional demand for the new Oslo stations.

– unbelievable

Anne Grethe Nordahl, Project Manager at the Norwegian Public Administration of Roads, looks like the delay is sad and irregular.

"We have maintained tight progress and were on track until Friday when we were informed of the delay and we have a supplier who can not deliver." At Veivesenet, we do not think that's going well, she said to Aftenposten.

The road network will follow this closely.

– sorry

Lan Marie Nguyen Berg, City Council for the Environment and Transportation, said in a press release that she seemed that the delay was regrettable.

"This week, air pollution in Oslo is again high and people with asthma and respiratory distress have to stay away from contaminated areas." A large political majority including the right , the left and the KRF in the city of Oslo and a parliament unanimously are behind the Oslo Pack 3, and we expect the Minister of Transport and Veivesen that they do everything possible to get this result quickly, "she said.

The delay will cost Oslo's nearly 100 million people a month to bolster community and bicycle services in Oslo and Akershus, according to Berg.

Action against bombing

The news of the new bombs has not been warmly received by everyone. In September, 150 cars took the E18 road from Sandvika and traveled to Oslo to protest the new bombing.

"It's scary to see how politicians deal with motorists.Politicians run away from us and do not listen to the ordinary man on the street.Everyone has no bike, said to Aftenposten Turid Rosendal, one of the activists, before the action.

In an interview with Aftenposten in October, the president of the city of Oslo, Raymond Johansen (AP), estimated that the introduction of toll rates in March would affect "many" elections in September.

A delay of three months means that the attack will take place in early June, just months before the citizens of Oslo choose new municipal councils.
