The company will build a new road that passes Backaryd towards the east of the town.
This new road stretch is intended to improve traffic safety and the situation for nearby residents.
The complete section of the road is approximately 7km and will feature a centre guardrail to enhance traffic safety, reduce accidents and improve passability.
