The E2 Lundby Route project includes rebuilding the Lundby Route between the Brantingsmotet and Ringömotet intersections, as well as work on the rail area between the route and Kville rail yard.

It encompasses road extensions and renovations, five new bridges with retaining walls, and infrastructure for expanding the Bohus Line to double track.

Work involves around 80,000 meters of piling, excavation and removal of some 200,000 cubic meters of material, plus structures containing approximately 11,000 cubic meters of concrete.

The Lundby Route is one of Gothenburg’s most heavily trafficked corridors, forming part of Sweden’s national road network. It links the E6, E20 and E45 routes with Road 155 leading to facilities like the Port of Gothenburg, housing areas in Torslanda and the island of Öckerö.

Construction is scheduled to commence in May 2025, with project completion planned for the turn of 2029-2030.
