One in ten state roads in Sweden is in very poor condition, shows an analysis by Transportföretagen of the Swedish Transport Administration’s permit data.

The organization believes that the budget for road maintenance must increase by two billion kroner per year, so that more roads do not get worse.

“The analysis that we are now presenting shows that it has spread to the busy roads, where 83 percent of traffic work takes place,” says Marcus Dahlsten, CEO of Transportföretagen in a press release.

The most affected counties are Jämtland, Västernorrland and Gävleborg. In the former, around 20 percent of state roads were in very poor condition last year, and according to Transportföretagen, that number could double by 2032.
