The County Administrative Board warned the municipality of Stenungsund about the risks of building in the landslide-affected area already three years ago, reports P4 Väst.
In a statement from 2020, the authority wrote that the land is unsuitable for development. The County Administrative Board saw risks for accidents, floods and erosion and was critical of the construction project that had been started in connection with the E6 at Stenungsund.
The chairman of the municipal board, Olof Lundberg (S), tells the radio channel that they should look more closely at the authority’s criticism.
– There are usually views on most of the plans that are drawn up regarding geotechnics. But man
can usually compensate for it with various measures. In this case, we have to look at it specifically, he says.
Several people were slightly injured in the extensive landslide – where the road may have moved 50 meters – which occurred early Saturday night. But it is still unclear how the landslide could have occurred.
