In a significant move to repair the collapsed section of the E6 highway near Stenungsund, the Swedish government has allocated one billion Swedish kronor.

This funding, revealed in the spring amendment budget, matches the estimated cost projected by the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) for the restoration.

The highway's collapse last September in a landslide has notably disrupted daily commutes and local traffic flow.

The reconstruction aims to not only expedite the reopening of the highway by late fall or at the latest by the end of the year but also ensure that other road projects remain unaffected financially.

Recent arrests link the landslide to improper waste disposal by a nearby construction site, highlighting the importance of responsible construction practices.
