The heat wave is causing problems for train and road traffic. The risk of sunstroke, among other things, is causing the Swedish Transport Administration to close certain train routes in Sm\u00e5land and V\u00e4rmland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Swedish Transport Administration decided on Tuesday to go into enhanced emergency mode while also closing certain local train routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2013 This is about an increased risk of sunstroke, but also fire when sparks from the trains arise that can ignite nearby vegetation, says Johan Nilsson Holmqvist, press communicator at the Swedish Transport Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In V\u00e4rmland, the route between Sunne and Torsby will be closed and in Sm\u00e5land, approximately 15 routes will be closed or have their speed reduced due to the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Road traffic is also affected as the heat increases the risk of so-called \u201dbleeding asphalt.\u201d This means that the road softens, widens and black shiny spots rise from the asphalt \u2013 something that can cause slipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
