Thankfully nobody died. 9 families totaling 32 people had their homes and businesses taken away as a result of the landslide. Eventually the remainder of the village was razed, and everybody relocated. The suspension bridge was officially opened September 25, 2020, less than three months following the landslide.
  The landslide is now spanned by a two lane through truss bridge. Imagery from November 2021 shows a completed bridge."

Notes:

• This bridge employs a mesh system, "Webnet," instead of traditional deck suspenders. From Jakob Rope Systems-Jakob AG literature about the project: "The wire mesh Webnet consists of 3 mm stainless steel ropes, with a construction of 6 × 19 + WC, which with sleeves, forms a mesh width of 80 mm. The Webnet is connected to 26 mm diameter suspension cables, which are 1 x 37 open spiral strand stainless cables, with Jakob Forte turnbuckles fitted at both ends."

That century old bridge was demolished upon completion of the 1943 Tynset suspension bridge less than a mile upstream. The 1843 bridge was the third bridge here and consisted of three timber arch spans with stone abutments on the banks, and a pair of stone piers within the river. Sediment had formed tiny islands where those pair of piers once stood and from these islets two piers will rise to support two of the four suspension bridge towers, with the other two towers close to where the abutments were."

The purpose of the dismantling is to reduce the loadings to the cables in order to increase the safety factor during the cable transferring works and saddle replacement works on top of the tower. The bridge itself is safe as confirmed by the recent load tests carried out on the bridge towers."
