Kranpunkten Contributes to the Future of Infrastructure at Lund Södra Interchange

About the Project – A Key Point for Improved Traffic Flow

The Lund Södra Interchange on the E22 and Road 108 is a vital junction in southern Sweden’s road network. More than 50,000 vehicles pass through this location daily, and during peak hours traffic queues often extend out onto the E22. To increase capacity, improve road safety, and facilitate commuting and freight transport, an extensive redevelopment project is now underway and will continue until the end of 2027.

The project includes:

• A new design for Lund Södra Interchange with a roundabout and cloverleaf ramps

• Replacement of all bridges along the stretch

• Widening of Road 108 to 2+2 lanes with a central barrier

• New bridges for grade-separated crossings, pedestrian, and bicycle paths

Despite the extensive works, the E22 will remain open to traffic, with only certain weekend closures.

Further Investments in the E22 – Meeting the Needs of the Future

The E22 and the Lund Norra exit are currently heavily trafficked, while the City of Lund is planning densification of the Ideon area and expansion in the new Brunnshög district. To meet these demands, a new interchange will be built at Ideon, along with additional lanes in both directions between the Gastelyckan and Lund Norra interchanges.

The new lanes will help:

• Improve traffic flow

• Reduce congestion

• Enhance road safety

This is yet another example of how infrastructure and urban development go hand in hand — with Kranpunkten helping to enable sustainable solutions.

Sustainability in Focus – From Construction to Equipment Selection

The Swedish Transport Administration and PEAB are also running a joint innovation project on site with a clear focus on sustainability. One of the most interesting features is the new pedestrian and bicycle bridge being built from Zero steel — a climate-friendly material with a very low environmental impact.

In line with this environmental focus, PEAB is also choosing sustainable machinery solutions:

“Kranpunkten shows that sustainability and functionality can go hand in hand. Their electric boom lift with long reach is a perfect fit for our projects and is fully in line with PEAB’s environmental goals,” says Magnus Ohlsson, Project Manager at PEAB Anläggning.

Current Status

The first new lane has recently opened to traffic, and work on the next lane has begun. Kranpunkten continues to support the project with the right machines at the right time — ensuring a safe, efficient, and sustainable construction process.

In cooperation with PEAB Anläggning, Kranpunkten is providing several machines and operators for different stages of construction. Our delivery includes:

• Around 5 lifts at different times

• Telescopic handlers with operators for material handling and logistics

• Skilled personnel on site throughout the construction period

Our machines are carefully selected to match the project’s needs, with a particular focus on reliability, performance, and reduced environmental impact.
