Gävleborg has the third worst roads in the country – Transport companies start appeal

During the Christmas and New Year holidays, many people go out on snow-covered roads to celebrate in different parts of the country.

– This on roads that have become a traffic hazard. Now we want to clarify how important this issue is for Sweden, says Tina Thorsell, head of social policy at Transportföretagen.

The transport companies are now starting a collection of names due to the fact that the Riksdag will soon decide on a new four-year budget regarding investments in the infrastructure.

– Gävleborg is one of Sweden’s worst counties when it comes to state roads. But it also reflects how it looks throughout the country, says Tina Thorsell.
