Preparation work is expected to commence in 2012 on the new bypass around Swedish capital Stockholm.
This project has now been delayed by one year although the work will go ahead, following a series of appeals over various contract issues. The major works for the Förbifart Stockholm project will commence in 2013 and the Swedish Transport Administration (1096 Trafikverket) and its consultants are now trying to catch up with the schedule to ensure that the work can be completed on, or at least close to, the original plan. A full timetable will be set shortly once all environmental inquiries have been completed.
The bypass will feature a series of tunnels and will take 8-10 years to construct. It is expected to cost some €3.12 billion, of which the Swedish Government will contribute with 20%. The remaining sum will be financed through road tolls.
