Sweden’s second city, Gothenburg, is the meeting point of many
of the main highways that make up western Sweden’s transport
network.Traffic conditions here have been a long-term environmental
and safety problem, with adverse impacts on business and the local
population, and consequently for regional development.
The Tingsstad Tunnel under the city’s river is a major traffic
bottleneck in peak hours.The Partihall Link is a solution intended
to relieve this Tunnel and improve safety and access to the section
of Gothenburg’s traffic system that has been burdened with the most
severe traffic problems.The Link will comprise a six-lane motorway,
three interchanges, tunnels, including a tunnel under the river, and
multiple bridges.
The Partihall Link will interconnect the E20 motorway, Highway 45
and the E6 Motorway, while also creating an opportunity to redirect
traffic from the local street system to these major trunk roads.
The Swedish National Road Administration commissioned WSP to
conduct the highways survey and prepare the project programme for the
whole scheme, plus construction documentation for the Partihall Link.
