The 1116 European Union's TEN-T programme has allocated US$1.15 million for studies to upgrade for the last remaining section on the main motorway connecting Sweden and Denmark.
The 30km section, bypassing Ljungby in southern Sweden, is expected to increase driver safety, cut down on accidents and reduce travel time. Widening the road to motorway standard will eliminate a bottleneck, but the study will also consider ground protection and noise reduction measures.
The studies will come up with an Environmental Impact Assessment, archaeological investigations, design of the road plan and preparation of parts of the tender documentation prior to starting the construction works.
The project was selected for EU funding with the assistance of external experts under the TEN-T Multi-Annual Call 2013, Priority Projects. The European Union’s Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) will monitor construction that is scheduled to be finished by December this year.
The TEN-T programme was established by the2465 European Commission to support the construction and upgrade of transport infrastructure across the EU. INEA is managing the technical and financial implementation of the TEN-T programme.
In December, INEA announced that the TEN-T will co-finance more than $1.15 million of preparatory studies for the construction of a rail and road bridge over the Port of Malmö in Sweden. The studies will prepare the construction of the bridge and the adaptation of the rail and road infrastructure at the port area.
Completion of the studies is expected by the end of December.
