Traffic. A dansktsvenskt meeting in the afternoon can be a great step forward for the plans for a new tunnel between Helsingborg and Helsingør.
The hope Region Skåne, chairman Henrik Fritzon (S).
– It indicates that this will be a major step forward is that we agree at the regional level that this should be a priority, ” he says to TT
It is the politicians in the cooperation of Greater Copenhagen & Skåne Committee, which will meet in Malmö to decide on a joint flight schedule for the Öresund region. The committee includes representatives from 79 municipalities in Skåne and eastern Denmark, and the three regions in the same area, which has 3.9 million residents.
International hub
the Goal is set high: In the draft traffic plan is the vision of the Öresund region in the year 2020 is to be “an international hub for investment and knowledge at a level with the most successful metropolises in Europe”.
the Problem is that the region stretches over one border and the infrastructure of the day is planned separately in Sweden and Denmark. If the infrastructure is not be an obstacle for the economic development needed a dansktsvenskt approach.
Now, the ambition is for the region’s political representatives to jointly operate on their respective governments. To a tunnelbygge between Helsingborg and Helsingör, a HH-connection, are high on the former president is Henrik Fritzon particularly pleased with.
Done 15 years
He believes that a link could be completed already within 15 years. It is possible to implement without public funds, he argues. Region Skåne’s proposal is that the state-owned Öresundsbrokonsortiet who built the øresund bridge to build the new connection under the same model, with borrowed money. By fees from passengers, the loan shall then be able to be paid back.
– this is a commercially viable project, ” says Fritzon.
the Proposal is two HH-tunnels, one for persontågtrafik between the two city centres, and a freeway tunnel to the south of the city centre. According to Region Skåne’s calculations, the price tag would be 26 billion.
