BK4 is termed to be the road with the highest bearing capacity in the country.

This stretch of road connects the northern and southern Dellen Lakes in Gävleborg County.

This 22km stretch of road will remain open to traffic throughout construction.

Peab region manager Jörgen Eriksson said: “We’re really pleased to be part of reinforcing the new road and improving traffic safety on it. We will put a lot of effort into avoiding damaging the cultural and historical values on and near the road. One of the challenges will be to preserve, protect and move the milestones from the 1800s that are close to the edge of the road.”
