A new 4 billion dollar mega project in Stockholm is well underway to construct a tunnel to act as a bypass. Here is a B1M video on it.

A section of E45 at Lilla Edet (north of Gothenburg) has been damaged yesterday.

They had a large amount of rain (100 mm in 2 hours) which flooded the roadbed and floated the EPS foundation (expanded polysterene), which caused the roadway to buckle and get wrecked.

This comes on the heels of a major landslide across E6 at Stenungsund which was just repaired last month. E6 was closed for 9 months and this stretch of E45 was its detour.

An oversize load in Kiruna in the far north: they're moving a church 5 kilometers.

Kiruna is a mining city, and they need to relocate parts of the city due to subsidence. The entire city center is moved 3 kilometers to the east.
