229

Swedish county road 229 (Länsväg 229) is a primary county road in Sweden from the Örbyleden/Huddingevägen intersection in Stockholm to the Tyresövägen/Bollmoravägen intersection in Tyresö.

In the Stockholm end it begins as a regular road which after a while it crosses national road 73 at the Gubbängen junction. West of Skarpnäck junction the road turns into a motorway. At Älta junction the county road 260 has a short common segment until the Skrubba junction. The road continues then to the Bollmora junction shortly after which the motorway comes to an end, and länsväg 229 ends there as well.

For the regular road portion the speed limits found are 50 km/h (31 mph) and 70 km/h (43 mph), and for the whole motorway portion the speed limit is 90 km/h (56 mph). The road has separated road halves for almost the entire stretch, with an exception for a 0.7 km (0.4 mile) portion in Hökarängen.
