Fixing Stockholm's Traffic Jams: Progress and Plans

Therese Lindström (M) inquired with Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about the traffic chaos in southern Stockholm, particularly around Gullmarsplan, Hammarby, and Skansbron, due to concurrent roadworks, asking if it could have been avoided and what measures are planned. Strömgren responded that major projects in a growing city inevitably cause disruptions, and while the Traffic Office coordinates efforts and sets high standards for traffic during construction, the one-way street on Skansbron was necessary for worker safety. Traffic on Skansbron is expected to normalize by December 9, 2025, with Johanneshov traffic interchange opening in late 2025.
