Spånga-Tensta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spånga-Tensta is a borough in Stockholm, located in the north, in Järva. The borough consists of following places:
- Spånga
- Tensta
These parts are created with the rest of the 70- and 80-s city boroughs in the ABC style: Arbete-Bostad-Centrum (meaning Work-Home-Centre, place to work, to live in and local centres). A rather funny sign on the Metro in Stockholm is the famous Kista station. The station is the only one above ground on its line, located on a viaduct running over the city. If you look in the rail direction northbound the metro parts the area in two, the "cyber city", hyper modern on the west and an old housing area to the east of the rails. At the exit signs on the station there are exits for the arbetsområde, meaning work area, and to the bostadsområde, meaning the housing area.

[edit] Transport
The transport provided is:
[edit] Rail
- Metro Blue line (T-banan), running from Kungsträdgården in city centre to Hjulsta station in the north. It has two stations, Hjulsta and Tensta, both inaugurated with the opening in 1975.
- Commuter rail has one station, Spånga, serving central parts of Bromsten.
[edit] Car
When finished, the Förbifart Stockholm will provide a motorway to be built to lighten traffic at E4/E20. In 2005, however, E18 Hjulstavägen runs on the north of Hjulsta/Tensta, creating a border between the green area and the city zone.
[edit] Bus
- Several lines run.
