Arbeidstunnel for Stockholms nye gule T-banelinje

Kontrakt for 600 m tunnel

Veidekke has been awarded a contract worth approximately 150 million Swedish kronor to build a roughly 600-meter-long work tunnel as part of Stockholm's new yellow metro line. This contract is an execution contract on behalf of Region Stockholm's administration, with Veidekke responsible for both planning and carrying out the tunnel construction. The contract is scheduled to commence execution with order reserves in the second quarter of 2026.

Boring gjennom jord og fjell

The work involves tunneling through both soil and bedrock to reach the new Årstaberg metro station. After the initial breakthrough, the tunnel will be excavated using rock removal techniques down to the station area. The contract also includes rock excavation for parts of the station itself, along with an option to extend rock excavation if required. The construction of this work tunnel is crucial to facilitating the secure and efficient progress of the larger tunnel project for the new metro line.

Midler for midlertidig tilgang

An important role of the new work tunnel will be to provide temporary access to the Årstaberg station during construction. Årstaberg is a key public transport hub where passengers can switch between the yellow metro line, commuter trains, trams, and buses. This access function will support ongoing operations and logistics throughout the metro line development. The project aligns with Veidekke’s expertise in complex underground construction and contributes significantly to improving the public transport infrastructure in the Stockholm region.

Ferdigstilling planlagt 2028

The work is planned to continue until 2028, with completion of the work tunnel expected by the end of that year. The tunnel forms a vital part of the new yellow line, which is set to enhance transit options in Stockholm by offering new connections, reducing travel times, and strengthening regional accessibility. Overall, this construction effort plays a central role in the expansion and modernization of Stockholm’s metro system.
