Pictures sent to Dagbladet by a freelance photographer showed the barriers below and the cars being taken for inspection.
– Yes, there is a lot of queue in the place. It appears to start at the Svinesund bridge in the middle of the border, Mikael Olsen, a transport operator at the Norwegian Road Administration, confirmed to Dagbladet.

Dagbladet spoke to the freelance photographer – who took the photos on the way to Sweden and was at the time at “Systembolaget in Stömstad, Department for red wine” – and it seems that many Harry trades have stopped until Saturday.
– So there might be a lot of queue on the way back. It also adds to the story that many Danes go to Norway for their winter holidays. Therefore, there is a chance of a little extra accumulation today, he said.
At 16.10, the freelance photographer writes to Dagbladet that there is no longer a queue in Svinesund.
– He says when we went home now, there was no customs control, no queue.
