Episode 3

Documentary series following Norwegian towing teams. In this episode, an avalanche is set off to secure a road that is in danger of being covered.

Gach bliadhna, tha sneachd a' gheamhraidh san Nirribhidh a' d猫anamh rathaidean nam beanntan cunnartach le reothadh, a' cur nan ceudan de l脿raidhean m貌ra far an rathaid. Tha Rathad na Deighe a' leantainn nan gaisgeach Lochlannach seo a' dol a-mach gus cobhair a thoirt do na l脿raidhean airson am faighinn air ais air an rathad.

Tha Thord Paulsen agus a chriutha ann an Odda agus Bj酶rn L忙greid, a tha ag obair na aonar ann an Eidfjord a' farpais gus tiotal an luchd-s脿bhalaidh rathaid as fhe脿rr a chosnadh. Tha cabhag air Bjorn crann-sneachda a ch脿radh oir dh' fhaodadh seo buaidh a thoirt air c霉isean, mura t猫id a chur ceart. Cuideachd tha aige ri ministear riaghaltais nan rathaidean a dhr脿ibheadh timcheall gus lorg fhaighinn air rathaidean a dh' fheumas obair leasachaidh. Tha iad cuideachd a' leigeil maoim-sneachda air falbh a dh' aona ghnothaich, airson rathad faisg air l脿imh a dh猫anamh nas s脿bhailte.

It happens every year. The harsh Norwegian winter turns mountain roads into bob sleigh tracks, and forces hundreds of 50-tonne trucks off the road. Ice Road Rescuers follows the daredevil Norwegian towing teams who set out to rescue these trucks and trailers on the icy mountains and get them back on track.

Enter Thord Paulsen and his crew in Odda, and lone wolf Bjorn Laegreid in neighbouring Eidfjord, both competing to be the best Road Rescuer. Bjorn rushes to fix a snow plough that could have knock-on effects in the future if he doesn't succeed and also ends up driving the government minister for roads while he is looking for roads to prioritise for future upgrades. Also, an avalanche is set off to secure a road that is in danger of being covered.
