Gothenburg's City Centre to Get New Traffic Management System by Q1 2025
Gothenburg's city centre is set to benefit from a comprehensive new traffic management system. The upgrade, overseen by Kapsch TrafficCom, involves replacing 50 tolling stations and 91 charging points, aiming to enhance traffic flow and ensure accurate tolling decisions for approximately 150 million vehicles annually.
The project is proceeding according to plan and is on track for completion by the first quarter of 2025. A significant milestone was reached in April 2024 with the successful completion of essential testing phases. The new system is designed to integrate with the existing congestion charging project, which was introduced in 2013 to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. The updated infrastructure is expected to generate around €90m annually for local infrastructure news.
The new multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) system, implemented in the first phase of the project, allows vehicles to pass through tolling points without stopping. This is expected to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the city centre.
The new traffic management system in Gothenburg's city centre is expected to bring significant benefits, including improved traffic flow, accurate tolling decisions, and increased funding for local infrastructure news. The project is on schedule for completion by the first quarter of 2025, following successful testing phases. The integration of the new system with the existing congestion charging project is also expected to contribute to the city's ongoing efforts to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality.
