The eco scent should serve as a transition point along the cross-link for both large and small animals. To create as natural a landscape as possible, trees, shrubs and stone sections must be present.

The bridge to be built over an otherwise busy road will increase the animals' ability to move freely in the area. The eco scent should also contribute to increased vegetation, by allowing plants to spread and grow freely. The Swedish Transport Administration also believes that the bridge can reduce the number of wildlife accidents on the road.

Walk and bike path

The bridge is planned to be about 90 meters long and up to 60 meters wide. The pedestrian crossing must also consist of a pedestrian and cycle path for people.

- That it becomes so wide is because large animals, like moose, want to pass. Since we are going to build a road in a nature-sensitive area, it is of the utmost importance that we create sustainable solutions for everyone, whether it is about humans or animals and plants, ”says Ulrica Nilsson, project manager for the Transboundary Södertörn.
