The Standing Committee on Transport and Communications is reviewing a private member's bill from seven MPs calling for reduced toll charges on the E6 between Ulsberg and Melhus. The proposers argue that construction delays have burdened drivers with high tolls while the project has fallen out of step with the original 2019 assumptions. Committee members from different parties have put forward competing solutions: the Progress Party and Centre Party want the government to review the toll scheme, while the Conservative Party proposes extending the loan repayment period and introducing a toll cap.
