Swedish term

Fôrbifart

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Types of diversion
Förbifart

Ett annat alternativ är att anordna en tillfällig vägbana som ligger i anslutning till den befintliga vägen men på betryggande avstånd från själva arbetet.


Förbiledning

I sista hand kan trafiken ledas förbi på samma vägbana, eventuellt på det andra körfältet om det finns två i samma riktning.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 (temporary) bypass
3 single-lane traffic (or) traffic merger

@all Presently, for the two questions "Förbifart" and "fôrbifil", I have "bypass carriageway" and "bypass lane"

(temporary) bypass

Your context describes a temporary bypass. So your term is for 'bypass', just like the large bypass project leading highways around larger cities (Stockholm Bypass) but ... temporary.

search "temporary bypass" + "road"

Hello Deane. I would like to see how you might answer the "other half" of the question (posted separately) before I can see where you are coming from. At present, I don't see how "temporary" works either as both solutions (Förbifart and Förbiledning) are temporary.
Peer comment(s):

agree Charlesp : why not "detour"?// And is that related to the diversion as a reason for posting responses to questions posted here?

Thanks, Charles! I'd say 'detour' works as a synonym for 'diversion.'

single-lane traffic (or) traffic merger

Erklärung:
Guiding the traffic along a single lane instead of two, as usual.
Routing the traffic to a single lane.

Oh sorry. I think you were asking for vägbana. Please disregard my answer.

I misunderstood your question.

Of course vägbana would require a different answer altogether. Please just ignore my reponse!

Hello Barbara. I don't quite get this as you seem to have given the same answer for both terms. An additional problem is that later in the text, two-way traffic can also be merged into one lane in a contraflow system. My problem is finding exact terms that are concise and completely disambiguated for very similar systems.
