Route 15 bypasses the town as a motorway
Route 15 runs north of Silkeborg as a motorway between Funder and Låsby (about 29 km), fully open since September 2016. The old main road through the town is no longer signed as route 15; at rush hour the motorway roughly halves the Låsby-Funder journey, to about 16 minutes.
