E6, Tingstadstunneln, Maintenance work

Tingstadstunneln is an immersed tunnel that is 455 meters long, located under Göta älv, which connects Hisingen with Gothenburg and mainland. The tunnel is a part of E6, which is the main thoroughfare through Gothenburg and is the busiest passage over Göta Älv. Tingstadstunneln is also an internationally important traffic function as E6 is the main road connection between Oslo and Copenhagen. The tunnel opened for traffic in 1968 and is heavily loaded with approximately 125,000 vehicles per day, just over 60,000 distributed on three lanes in each direction.

During 2022-2023 we will recondition the tunnel’s construction to increase its life span. We will replace most of the technical installations and take several measures to reduce the environmental impact as well as increase safety and reduce the consequences of accidents.
