Now is Road 800 open for trafic. The road is going from Islingby to Torsång and is called the New Islingby road.
The opening ceremony of the new road took part on a sunny and windy September day and the road was opened by the head of the executive board in Borlänge Nils Persson and Lars Nord from the Swedish Road Administration. The location of the opening ceremony was at the school of Alsbäck which is located at the same distance
from Islingby as from Torsång.
An orchestra was playing and Lars and Nils took off in two veteran cars. Nils went in the direction of Islingby since Borlänge municipality has funded the distance Islingby-Alsbäck, and Lars in the direction of Torsång since the Road Administration funded the distance Alsbäck-Torsång.
Wishes
- Since I started as the head of the executive board 3,5 year ago has to build this new road been one of the most common wishes of the population, said Nils in his opening speech.
Now will the people of Torsång not any longer need to take the road in between all small villages to reach Torsång. The new road is on the farm land and meadows. Consideration has been taken so no culture values has been destroyed.
The head of the executive board of Borlänge municipality Nils Persson did an opening tour on the New Islingby Road. In this splendid Vabis from the motor museum in Torsång, the driver was Hans-Erik Örtlund.
