European route E4

The European route E4 extends 1,590 kilometers from Haparanda at the Finnish border to Helsingborg in southern Sweden along the Gulf of Bothnia.

Initially designated as Highway 1 between Helsingborg and Stockholm and Highway 13 from Stockholm to Haparanda until 1962, when it received its E4 designation.

The route connects fifteen of Sweden's thirty largest cities, serving as a central link between urban centers and regional communities throughout the country.

North of Gävle, the road alternates between standard carriageway and 2+1 configuration, while south of Gävle it functions primarily as a continuous motorway.

The E4 stands as the second longest road within a single European Union country, surpassed only by the E45 route.
