The ice release has cracked the land moorings for Långåfisket's pontoon bridge over Svartaven on Långåljusnan's northern side, approximately in the middle of Långå. Although the bridge is designed to withstand the load of ice, the conditions of the year have exceeded the calculations..
The bridge is, among other things, equipped with anchors that have been released and it is now anchored approx 100 meters from the right place. The bridge itself is completely undamaged according to what has emerged so far.

Affected stakeholders such as the power company and the rescue service are informed.

The bridge will be salvaged and put back in place. Långå FVOF has a large work boat that can handle that task.
– During the summer, we will make reinforcements where the attachments will be able to withstand the forces that arise in connection with the ice melt., says Helge Jonsson.

That bridges and bridges are subjected to trials in connection with the ice melt is “old tradition” and a recurring phenomenon, especially during the time before water regulation. The stresses will be great and on old barns that are in the vicinity of Långåljusnan you can see devices for moorings that would keep the barns in place when the spring flood set in.. It was something of a pleasure to be part of the barns being floated or rowed back to their proper places, says Helgi Jonsson.
