Ringspåret

Ringspåret is a public transport project in Gothenburg, Sweden, aimed at improving connectivity and capacity on the city's tram network. The project involves the construction of a new double-track tram line that encircles a significant portion of the city center. This loop is designed to allow trams to bypass the already heavily utilized central corridors, thereby reducing travel times and increasing the frequency of services on key routes.

The Ringspåret primarily serves areas north of the city center, connecting them more directly to other parts of the network. Key sections include the development of new tracks along Gullbergs Strandgata and the integration of these with existing infrastructure. The project aims to facilitate smoother transfers and reduce congestion, especially during peak hours. It is part of a larger strategy by Västtrafik, the regional public transport authority, to modernize and expand Gothenburg's tram system to accommodate a growing population and increasing demand for sustainable transportation. Funding for the project has come from both regional and national sources. The completion of Ringspåret is expected to enhance the overall efficiency and attractiveness of public transport in Gothenburg.
