A road tunnel in northern Norway will be shut for several weeks after a 27-ton 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, brown 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-kilometer tunnel at the time.
Joergensen said the tunnel near Arctic municipality Tysfjord, some 1,350 kilometers north of capital Oslo likely may be closed for two more weeks.
Goat's milk cheese is an essential part of many Norwegians' daily diet.
