The pipe bridge over Tickselbäcken near Gävle hospital's northern parking lot and the helipad are to be renovated during weeks 34–42. Lexevägen remains open, but access will be affected during the work. The municipality's map shows the exact workplace.
What happened?
Gävle municipality published a planned operating notice on 12 August. The work concerns a pipe bridge and not a complete closure of Lexevägen. The site does not specify specific lane regulation, working hours per day, public transport diversions or weight restrictions. Road users need to follow signage when approaching the site.
Location
Gävle, Gävleborg
Impact and significance
The location near the hospital's parking lot and helipad makes accessibility and clear guidance particularly important. Visitors and staff may need to add extra travel time. WUA makes no assumptions about ambulance or helicopter traffic as the municipality's announcement does not describe operational impacts for these operations.
Background
The work is planned over several weeks and the schedule may be affected by technical conditions and weather. The municipality's Google Maps link and red map marking provide better location information than the text alone. The contact person is the municipality's street engineer, but personal contact details are not reproduced here.
Latest update
Planned period is week 34 to 42. Lexevägen must be open but with limited access. Check later operating announcements and physical signage before travel, especially for time-critical hospital visits.
