Norway cheese fire shuts down road tunnel

A ROAD tunnel in northern Norway will be shut for several weeks after a 27-tonne truckload of sweet goat's milk cheese caught fire.

Regional traffic department chief Geir Joergensen says flames engulfed the tunnel last week and gases from the melting load hindered firefighters. It took four days to put it out.

The driver was not hurt and no other vehicles were in the 3.6-kilometre tunnel at the time.

Joergensen said on Wednesday that the tunnel near the small Arctic municipality of Tysfjord, some 1,350km north of the capital, Oslo, likely will be closed for two more weeks.

Goat's milk cheese is an essential part of many Norwegians' daily diet.
