Trafikverket urges road users to keep to the speed limit on Vasaloppsvägen between Fiskarheden and Oxberg during the summer. Work continues despite the holiday season and many drivers exceed the limits.
Road work on Vasaloppsvägen continues during parts of the summer. The road remains open to traffic while the final major works are carried out to make the stretch safer and more passable.
Trafikverket has carried out 6000 speed measurements in which 3700 cars drove too fast. The highest recorded speed was 96 kilometres per hour on a section signed for 30 kilometres per hour.
– The risk is that one of our colleagues will not get home, says Peter Byström, responsible for traffic safety during the work. Construction manager Claes Engvall adds that those working on the road want to get home safely every day.
Work along the entire stretch is scheduled to be completed by the end of September this year.
