According to NRK Sápmi, Birger Holand described the potential costs as unmanageable for the municipality. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration assures that the roads will be handed over in good condition according to state guidelines. The administration confirmed that the decision on reclassification has already been made and promised further dialogue with the municipality.
The specific costs feared by the municipality and the timeline for the transfer remain unclear.
These are costs we cannot handle.
