The Söderled Tunnel in Stockholm is closed southbound and will be closed overnight and a bit until Friday morning.

Currently, there is no exact forecast of when traffic can be released as usual, according to the Swedish Transport Administration.

The reason for the stop is a water leak that has mined the road.

There are and have been very long lines. The problem has also affected other roads in the traffic system, with queues as a result.

I had to urgently close

At first it was planned to be able to keep at least one road open in the tunnel, but it did not work.

– We had to close urgently, says Ramona Winsner at Trafik Stockholm.

The water has run under the road and right now there is an excavator installed to excavate the road.

– Those who remained inside the tunnel received help from there, says Ramona Winsner.

Which path should you take now?

– You can drive around the city.
