Works for construc on of the road sec on Norra Lanken

2007-SE-12090-P • Part of Priority Project 12

This project, as part of the Nordic Triangle railway/road axis (Priority Project 12), concerns Norra Länken, the northern link of the ring road (E20) of Stockholm. It encompasses approximately 11 km between Norrtull and Värtan (Frihamnen/Värta-

hamnen) and consists mainly of the execu on of nine concrete or rock tunnels and an interchange in Värtan, supplemented by the necessary traffi c management and telecommunica ons installa ons.

The project will lead to a be er quality infrastructure, safer and more effi cient transport, and a be er mul modal link between road and sea. Access and mobility will also improve due to increased road network capacity through the dual tunnel and surface road sec on. Road safety will also be improved thanks to the diversion of vehicles into tunnels in which there is no oncoming traffi c.

The Mid-Term evalua on confi rmed the very good progress made so far by the project, which can be recommended as a model. The main reasons for this progress lie in the robust monitoring system in place, the well performing risk management mechanism, as well as the long term strategy for effi ciency and results. Good performance has also been no ced in minimis-ing the environmental impact of the project. The project is expected to be completed in 2013 in line with the original plans.
