Road Closures Anticipated for Royal Event

Hello Magazine has learned that the Møre og Romsdal police district is gearing up for a significant influx of wedding guests this weekend, coinciding with Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett's wedding on Saturday, August 31. Visitors planning to go to Geiranger that weekend should be prepared for delays and road closures, according to Acting Chief Hans Martin Gridset in an email to Dagbladet.

Event Logistics and Restrictions

• The Hotel Union, site of the wedding, will be closed to the public on the wedding day.
• Other areas may also be closed off as needed.
• The festivities begin Thursday in Ålesund at Hotel 1904, known for hosting royal guests.

Back to Geiranger, wedding guests will arrive via two chartered ships on Friday, prepared for a bustling weekend. Authorities emphasize allowing extra travel time due to the anticipated crowds.

Public Advisory from Authorities

The primary road in Geiranger passes Hotel Union, where the wedding will occur. Visitors are urged to respect any closures and directives issued by the police. Additionally, the airspace over Geiranger will be restricted from August 30 to September 2, preventing drone flights for safety reasons.

As prominent figures and celebrities confirm their attendance, including Jan Thomas and Lilli Bendriss, expectations rise for a glamorous wedding weekend.
