A tow truck is on its way to the location on road 56. The forecast is that road 56 will be passable again at 13:30, Trafikverket said.

Earlier on Thursday, traffic in the direction toward Uppsala on road 55 between Annelund junction and Skolsta was affected by a truck that had broken down, according to Trafikverket. The incident on road 55 had a small impact on traffic, Trafikverket reported. The warning for the incident on road 55 was sent out at half past seven in the morning on Thursday, and traffic on road 55 was expected to be affected until 07:50, Trafikverket indicated. What caused the truck to break down on road 55 remains unclear. The breakdown occurred during the morning rush hour, but due to the minor impact, traffic flow was restored quickly after the truck was cleared. Drivers were advised to use alternative routes during the brief disruption.
In a separate incident, a stationary truck is affecting traffic in both directions on road 94 between Vernerslund and Norrabyn, Trafikverket reported. The specific issue with the stationary truck on road 94 is not yet known, and the current status and forecast for the traffic situation on road 94 have not been confirmed. This incident has caused moderate delays in both directions, with traffic slowing down as vehicles navigate around the obstruction. Authorities are working to assess the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
Are there any injuries or safety hazards associated with any of these incidents, and how many vehicles are affected or delayed by these incidents, are also unknown at this time. The causes of the incidents on roads 55 and 94 remain under investigation, and it is unclear if weather or mechanical failures played a role. Broader traffic impacts across the region are being monitored, but no major disruptions beyond the reported roads have been confirmed. Drivers are urged to check real-time traffic updates and plan their routes accordingly to avoid further delays.
