Fixing Stockholm Traffic Delays from Roadworks

A Moderate politician has questioned the traffic commissioner regarding the "traffic chaos" in southern Stockholm, particularly around Gullmarsplan, Hammarby, and Skansbron, caused by multiple simultaneous roadworks, leading to long queues and extended travel times. The commissioner responded that some disruptions are inevitable with urban development, that workplace safety sometimes necessitates measures like the Skansbron one-way system, and that the Traffic Office coordinates projects and places high demands on contractors, though some simultaneous projects are unavoidable. Capacity at Johanneshov traffic junction is expected to be fully restored by the end of 2025, and Skansbron will reopen in both directions from December 9, 2025; general traffic flow, emissions, and travel times are not always measured, but can be for specific cases.
