On the second day of Easter, Stefan Strömbäck's son got stuck in the mud, but was lucky and got help from a tall four-wheel-drive pick-up that pulled him up.
The wife had to stay home from work
The other day it was Stefan's wife Petra's turn to get stuck in the mud and she was forced to stay home from work.
Stefan himself has had to stay in Gällivare where he works because the road could not be traveled on.
- It's sad but it seems that you have to go out to the media to get things done, says Stefan Strömbäck.
Despite repeated complaints to both the Swedish Transport Administration and the contractor who manages the road, it is still in poor condition.
Stefan does not want to burden the contractor who he thinks has done his part well.
On the other hand, he thinks that the Swedish Transport Administration has been reluctant to listen - and once they have done so - they have acted too late.
This is how the Swedish Transport Administration responds to the criticism
The Swedish Transport Administration's project manager Jan Eliasson writes in an email to SVT Norrbotten that a decision has been made as soon as possible to drive out reinforcement material on road 833. This after the Swedish Transport Administration's contractor contacted them on Tuesday evening.
- Our agreement includes that the contractors must inspect the roads at 14-day intervals.
But that at maturity and when problems can be suspected, they make more frequent inspections, writes Eliasson.
