The 39 wings of the 13 wind turbines being built on Kjölberget south of Trysil in Norway, right on the border with Sweden, were driven there last autumn from Denmark via roads in western Sweden.
But 15 of the wing blades have such serious faults that they now have to be transported back the same way they came.
The transports are extremely long, so in the autumn the crossings were widened, roundabouts were temporarily rebuilt, forests were felled and lampposts were taken down along the entire stretch between Uddevalla and Sälenfjällen, so that the wings could get out.
Widen curves and take down trees
Now the job has to be done again.
But the other way around.
- There are other curves we have to widen now and remove some other trees.
This is the first time we have to do this, says Nanna Gothe at Svevia, which is the state-owned company responsible for road maintenance in Malung-Sälen municipality.
It is the transport company and ultimately the wind power companies that pay for this job.
