Inlandsvägen
road in Sweden
Inlandsvägen (The Inland Road) is a road passing through the center of Sweden from Gothenburg in the south to Karesuando in the north. Inlandsvägen is at the same time the European route E45 in Sweden. The term Inlandsvägen is also used about Riksväg 26 (National Road 26) that begins in Halmstad in the south and ends in Mora in the midst of Sweden, even though this is called Inlandsvägen Syd (The Inland Road South).
The route
Starting in Gothenburg by the Kattegatt in southwestern Sweden, the road passes Lake Vänern to the west through Värmland and Dalarna to Mora at Lake Siljan. The road then continues via Orsa through Härjedalen and Jämtland to Östersund at the Lake Storsjön. From then on the route goes through Lapland and its wilderness, via the towns Vilhelmina, Storuman, Arvidsjaur, Jokkmokk and Gällivare to its northern terminus in Karesuando at the Finnish border.
Inlandsvägen is simultaneously the European route E45 in Sweden, between Gällivare and Svappavaara it is also the European route E10. The European route E45 and Riksväg 26 follows the same route for approximately 35 kilometers (22 mi) between Johannisholm and Mora, the latter being the end of the road for Riksväg 26.
Only the first few kilometers of road after Gothenburg is motorway. Most parts of Inlandsvägen have just two lanes with two-way-traffic; a 6 meters (20 ft) wide asphalted road that follows the terrain.
