Description

Norrortsleden was completed in 2008, and is numbered 265. The connection with European highway E18 is provided with a new interchange at Trafikplats Ullna, designated with exit number 186. The motorway was opened in several stages; and the 2.1 kilometer long Törnskog tunnel was opened in late June 2008.^[2]
