The upgrade of Vasaloppsvägen between Oxberg and Fiskarheden will cost at least 150 million kronor more than planned. Extra costs have risen further over the winter. This now threatens other road projects in Dalarna.
The major upgrade of Vasaloppsvägen started about a year ago with a planned budget of 350 million kronor. Costs have now risen by at least 150 million kronor, according to Trafikverket.
Extra expenses have increased further during the winter, threatening other road projects in Dalarna. Trafikverket project manager Mikael Oscarson said: "But we have got a lot for the money."
Work on the stretch between Oxberg and Fiskarheden continues despite the higher costs. No specific details on the reasons for the cost increase are given at present.
