One year ago, Transportföretagen reported a trend break, indicating that Sweden's roads are improving. However, the organization noted large regional differences, with Jämtland identified as having the worst roads. 5 percent of roads in Jämtland were considered in very poor condition.
Specific poor road conditions in the region include Road 686 in Offerdal, which has been described as terrible. According to a source, the state of such roads has been criticized. Public perception aligns with these assessments, as a 2024 survey by Transportföretagen found that 95 percent of Jämtland's residents think the roads are worst in rural areas.
It remains unclear what specific improvements have been made to Sweden's roads since the trend break was noted, and what actions are being taken to address the poor conditions in Jämtland. Additionally, the current percentage of roads in very poor condition in Jämtland and Östergötland is not known, nor are the main causes of the poor road conditions in Jämtland's rural areas.
