Analysis shows no improvement in Dalarna's state roads

Despite increased national investments in road maintenance, the share of state roads in very poor condition in Dalarna has risen slightly to 16.5 percent over the past year. This emerges from a new analysis by Transportföretagen. The analysis also highlights major deficiencies in the county's culverts.

Transportföretagen has released a fresh analysis revealing that Dalarna's state roads have not improved despite heightened national investments in road maintenance. The proportion of roads in very poor condition has edged up from 16.4 percent the previous year to 16.5 percent in Dalarna county. The analysis also identifies significant shortcomings in the county's culverts. Eric Salomonsson reports on this in Dala-Demokraten, noting the slight deterioration. Transportföretagen indicates that Dalarna's development diverges from the national pattern of increased funding. No specific reasons for the deficiencies are stated in the analysis, but it stresses the need for action. This impacts transportation and safety in the region.
