Page "European route E4" Paragraph 4

From Haparanda on the Finnish border, it stretches 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 E 55, but it remains in the pre-1992 designation ( E 4 ) within Sweden, because the expenses connected with re-signing this long road portion would be too large.

Besides the signs along the road, there are thousands of signs, especially in cities, showing how to reach the E 4 road.

The road is now fully authorized as E 4 by the relevant authority, not as E 55.
