Swedish National Road 73




Swedish national road 73 (''Riksväg 73''), '''Nynäsvägen''', is a Swedish National Road in Sweden between Stockholm and Nynäshamn . The length is 57  Km (35  Mi ).

National road 73 begins at the Johanneshov junction at Gullmarsplan in Stockholm with connections from the Johanneshov Bridge and Skanstull Bridge and County Road 226 (Huddingevägen), passing above Södra Länken and continues southwards. At Gubbängen junction goes beneath County Road 229 (Örbyleden/Tyresövägen), continues past Farsta , passing the municipal border of Huddinge where then County Road 271 (Magelungsvägen) joins. Continues past Trängsund and Skogås . In Handen it goes above the end point of County Road 260 (Gudöbroleden), continues past Jordbro , Västerhaninge , Landfjärden and Ösmo to Nynäshamn , where national road 73 comes to an end at the railway station and the Gotland quay.

The road is a Motorway between Stockholm and Västerhaninge. The stretch between Västerhaninge (Fors junction) and Nynäshamn (Älgviken junction) is being built to a motorway as well. Construction began on September 1 2005 and is expected to be finished in 2009 .

The part of national road 73 south of Västerhaninge is infamous for being one of the most accident frequent roads of Sweden for a long time, which is why it sometimes is called “The Road of Death” (''“Dödens väg”''), and the residents along the road have loudly voiced for a long time for the road to be rebuilt. Which is now finally being done.
