The Swedish Trollhätte Canal connecting lake Värnen, the third largest lake in Europe, with the river Göta älv will be closed down between August 26 and September 19 next year for maintenance and repair work.
“This maintenance and repair work must be done if we are to secure the operation of the facility”, says Ingvar Dyberg, area manager for the Swedish Maritime Administration.
The Trollhätte Canal is of utmost importance for several industries around lake Vänern that depend on sea transport for the import and export of goods.
