The sinkhole is located at the intersection of Skaraborgsvägen, Södra Ringvägen, and Västra Ringvägen. The municipality urges motorists to drive carefully, follow signage, and reduce speed when passing the area. The municipality estimates it will take about a week to fix the problem.

Local authorities have cordoned off the affected area and are monitoring the situation. Engineers are expected to assess the damage and begin repairs soon.
In Oslo, police closed a road intersection at Marienlyst after a report of a large sinkhole in the roadway. The report came at around 23:25 on Friday evening. The sinkhole is about three meters wide at the intersection of Suhms gate and Harald Hårfagres gate. The intersection has been closed until the city environment agency has conducted its investigations. According to NRK Nyheter, Gabriel Langfeldt, operations leader at Oslo Police District, described the sinkhole as about three meters wide and said the intersection was closed pending agency investigation. According to the city environment agency, the sinkhole may be related to a leak in the area a couple of weeks ago. The depth of the Oslo sinkhole is not yet known, and no injuries have been reported. Police have set up detours and are advising drivers to avoid the area. The city environment agency will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause and necessary repairs.
