            E45 used to be E6 before the bridge was built.

            Renaming them seems logical, but since they pass through low density areas in Sweden it probably won’t ever happen. Their E4 and E6 are the only exceptions to the naming convention, that north/south are odd numbers and west/east are even numbers. E4 and E6 should have been renamed in the early 1990s to E47 and E55, but they got to keep the old names in Sweden, because nobody wanted to pay for changing thousands of existing road signs.

      Seems there’s two, actually, the other one being way at the bottom between mainland Italy and Sicily.

      Can still count as the same route even if it’s not the same contiguous road, I guess 🤷

        I presume you can load your car on both ferries, meaning you can technically “drive” the whole route

          I know you can with the one between Denmark and Norway since I’ve been on it myself and yeah, it’s probably the case with the Italian one too 🙂

            On this map, the ferry route is between Sweden and Denmark. Helsingør - Helsingborg I presume. I presumed wrong. Must be Göteborg - Frederikshavn.

        I couldn’t see it for my finger but you’re right. They keep talking about building a bridge though. It’s a gap of about 4 km but it’s in Italy.

      So does the Pan American Highway, but if we are willing to call that 30,000 km, i am willing to give the Euros their 5,000 km highway to feel important.

    Had no idea it was an international thing, must have been on it hundreds of times in Sweden throughout my life. Gone from Gothenburg in the South to Hälsingland, north of Stockholm, about 2000km many times, to where my grandmother’s summer house is. I always enjoy the trip almost as much as the vacation there.

      Dude, Sweden is 1600km long, Gothenburg to Hälsingland would be somewhere in the ballpark of 600km.

      Other fun fact, all roads starting with E are international (in swedish they are called Europaväg)

        M ≠ m in metric. Example: 1 MB = 1000 kB

          M ≠ m in metric

          Maybe not in academic notation, but in every day writing, it ABSOLUTELY is used as it and Mm isn’t used for kilometer anywhere lol

          Also, since we’re nitpicking, 5190 rounds to 5200, not 5100 😛

      The length of the E45 route from Finnmark to Sicily is a little under 3.5 million Danny DeVitos…is DEFINITELY a unique sentence 😄

      I mean, there’s probably thousands of places along the route where you can make a turn in order to head towards Gibraltar 🤷

        yeah just if there was one interupted road and if they ever got a bridge or tunnel going you could then have such a long theoretical thing.
