City Hall clock to stop for repairs

The large clock that adorns the eastern tower of Oslo’s City Hall is a landmark for thousands of Norwegians who pass by it every day. It’s also normally highly reliable, and many use it to keep track of time, but they won’t be able to starting next week.

That’s why city officials felt obliged to send out a message late this week that the clock will be stopped for needed repairs from next week, and be out of operation for around 10 days.

“We know that many people follow the City Hall clock on a daily basis,” acting City Hall manager Alejandro Saldivar told news bureau NTB. “Therefore we wanted to to make folks aware that it will be standing still for awhile.”
