I would be moderately concerned if I were the resident of that house on the right.
Title misspelling: This was caused by a quick-clay landslide, not a sinkhole.
Summary:
A landslide has destroyed both the E6 and the railway near Levanger in Norway, probably caused by quick clay. The incident occurred on Saturday morning 30.08.2025. A Danish worker is missing and presumed dead, and several residents have been evacuated as the ground remains unstable. Locals had long warned about the risk. The closure has created major traffic problems, with long detours—some through Sweden—and train services replaced by buses. Authorities say it may take weeks or even months before the route can reopen.
Ain’t that a landslide? Doesn’t look like a sinkhole.
No trees to hold the land with their roots, near a small slope close to water, tends to do that
That’s not a motorway.
Why is is always the E6? It’s the same road as experienced a large land slide in Stenungsund, Sweden two years ago.
Part of me wonders if that house had a leaking septic tank or outflow of some sort and it has destabilised the ground towards the fjord, but that’s unlikely right?
The police said that the road will be closed for a couple of days. That’s quite the positive take on it.
Landslide, not a sinkhole! We don’t have sinkholes in Scandinavia!
this is what the environment protestors laying on car roads want to prepare people for.
Quick Clay landslides are crazy – literal example of a straw breaking a camels back: [https://youtu.be/3q-qfNlEP4A](https://youtu.be/3q-qfNlEP4A)
What makes this happen? Like, we can build stuff on clay without any real issues by using stabilisers. Do those not work with this particular kind of clay or what’s going on here?
Why does a piece of land suddenly think to itself: “Time to go” ?
Not sure what those people in that house did, but it must have been bad.
