Norway, and the west coast of Sweden, running from the southern tip of
Sweden (
Trelleborg), into Norway and through almost all of the country north to
Finnmark. The route ends close to the Norwegian border with
Russia. Its length is 3140 km.This road was called E6 in the old "E" road system before 1985, and it used to continue all the way to
Rome. It was given the number
E47 (but not signposted) in the new system on most of the Scandinavian part, and E6 only for the northernmost 700 km. After a political negotiation all of the Scandinavian part was given the number E6 also in the new system which was introduced in Scandinavia 1992.
