Stockholm Tunnel: City Council Considers Traffic Solution

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm should support and collaborate on building an Eastern Link, a car tunnel intended to complement Stockholm's ring road and reduce inner-city traffic. However, the City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee advise against this, arguing that a new motorway could increase car traffic and compete with other prioritized infrastructure projects like subway expansions. They assess the Eastern Link as unprofitable and believe it would displace more important investments.
