Lorry drove into viaduct in Kungsbacka - train traffic shut down unnecessarily

It was at 15.55 that a truck drove into a viaduct in Kungsbacka. No trains were allowed to pass the Viaduct until it has been inspected, announced Hallandstrafiken.

The viaduct was inspected at 5 p.m. and according to the inspector at the scene, train traffic has been shut down unnecessarily.

Although the trains are running again, several departures are cancelled, and consequential delays are expected. Due to this, replacement buses will continue to run between Gothenburg and Varberg.

The stoppage in train traffic has affected Öresundståg and SJ's express train between Gothenburg and Malmö as well as commuter traffic with Västtågen.
