The National Road Administration[1] (Template:Langx) was a government agency in Sweden. Its primary responsibility was to organise building and maintenance of the road network in Sweden. Its headquarters were located in Borlänge.
History
The agency was founded in 1841 as the Royal Board for Public Road and Water Structures (Template:Langx) and was responsible for Sweden's canals and roads. In 1967, the agency changed its name to the National Swedish Road Administration (Template:Langx). National Road Administration (Template:Langx).
In 1993 the National Swedish Road Safety Office (Trafiksäkerhetsverket) was merged into the agency.
In 2009 the responsibility for the vehicle register and issuing of drivers' licenses,[2] was moved to a new authority, the Swedish Transport Agency. At the same time the department for the actual road work was separated from the National Road Administration into a government owned company, called Svevia. For a number of year this department, then called Vägverket Produktion, was a profit-making organisation competing with private companies.
The agency was merged with the Swedish National Rail Administration on 1 April 2010 to create the new Swedish Transport Administration.
