The county administrative board of Stockholm (Länsstyrelsen) decided thursday to accept the new link "Förbifart Stockholm", next step is for the government to make the final decission. The 21 km link between E18 at Häggvik/Sollentuna, via Lovön, and E4/E20 at Kungens Kurva would make it possible to travel between northern and southern Stockholm without passing the City or Essingeleden. The National Environment Protection Board (Naturvårdsverket) is critical to the link because of the sensitive environment of the island Lovön.
