If you are traveling by bus

A number of bus routes will be affected. This applies to lines 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 16E, 18 and 19.

On Skyss’s pages you can read which stops are affected.

Buses from Bergen north towards the center drive the Fløyfjellstunnel while Bryggen is closed. Skyss reports this on its pages.

If you want to take the bus north from the city centre, the bus will have to drive through Torget via Øvregaten, with two different driving patterns before and after 1100.

– Between 0400 and 1100, the buses run via Torget – Øvregaten – Nye Sandviksvei – Sandviksveien. Between 1100 and 1600 the buses run via Torget – Øvregaten – Bradbenken, writes Skyss.

There will be lots of people in the city centre, so be prepared for a slightly more demanding day today if you plan to wander around the streets.
