European route E4 passes through
Finland and
Sweden. It begins in
Tornio in northern Finland, and is actually only 800 m (0.5 mile) long in Finland. Then it goes through Sweden, south along the
Gulf of Bothnia to
Gävle, then on a more inland route southwards. It ends in
Helsingborg in Sweden, at the port for the ferry to
Elsinore in Denmark. In the new system of
European routes, it was planned to have been a part of
E55, but it remains in the pre-1992 designation (E4) within Sweden, because the expenses connected with re-signing this long road portion would be too large. It is now fully authorised as E4 by the relevant authority, not as E55. South of
Gävle, the road is almost a continuous motorway. On
October 17,
2007, the final stretch of the motorway between
Uppsala and Mehedeby was opened. This project was started in
2002.
