LC4S0546.jpg

One of the few modern things found at Iviken - a ramp for vehicles down to a main level in the Håksberg field, completed in 1973. It is now water filled together with the rest of all connected mines in the field

The incline was built in the 70's and was in use until the Håksberg mines was closed in 1979. It goes all the way down to the 250m level at the Ickorrbotten shaft. There's also a smaller incline branching off at the Iviken mine, which also was in operation until the closure of the mine in -79. I wonder if the old truck still is parked under the water a few hundred meters in...
