Roads and railways in Sweden have reopened for traffic after Storm Dave, according to an official press release from Trafikverket on April 8, 2026. The storm, with winds up to hurricane strength, caused significant impact on traffic and infrastructure, including fallen trees and damaged contact lines. Trafikverket and contractors used all available resources for clearance and restoration work, focusing on safety.
While some railway sections in the west remain affected, the major lines are now open again.
