The Swedish Transport Administration (1096 Trafikverket) has unveiled a US$81.02 billion (SEK 522bn) plan for national transport systems in 2014-15.
Around $43.66 billion (SEK 281 billion) of the budget been earmarked for transport system development, $24.05 billion (SEK 155bn) will be spent on road maintenance, and $13.34 billion (SEK 86bn) have been earmarked for railway maintenance.
The Transport Administration’s plan also includes investment in speed cameras along 60,000kms of road as well as around 100 cross roads, which it estimates will prevent 11 deaths a year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50,000tonnes.
The expansion of the south part of the E4 motorway and investment in railway development to improve punctuality and greater work commuting are other plan elements.
