The reconstruction of the university bus stop has now been completed and the road is once again open to car traffic. Starting Monday, 18 August, there is also a new bus route to and from the university.
The reconstruction work at the bus stops by the university and Kronoparkskyrkan was initiated by Karlstad Municipality in mid-May, affecting traffic in the area. Work has now finished and Sommargatan is once again open to car traffic passing the university.
Meanwhile, new reconstruction work has begun at the Klarinettgatan bus stops, located south of the university. This is expected to continue until early November. This means that the part of Sommargatan connecting to Klarinettgatan is open to traffic in one direction at a time and is regulated by traffic lights.
The reconstruction is part of an extension of the so-called “Karlstadsstråket” for the S route, which will begin running via the university from Monday, 18 August, in addition to routes 1 and 2. From the same date, bus route 3 will follow a new route and will no longer stop at Kronoparken or the university.
