The contract comprises the construction of a concrete (approx. 54 metres) and rock (approx. 16 metres) tunnel, which will cross Stora Hamnkanalen close to the canal’s Göta älv outlet. Work on the project starts immediately and is expected to be completed in summer 2029.

“We are very happy to have been awarded another Västlänken subcontract. This is testimony to the solid cooperation established with the Swedish Transport Administration and to the expertise of Veidekke’s project organisation to execute such complex projects,” says Fredrik Indevall, regional manager at Veidekke Anläggning Väst.

Stora Hamnkanalen is the fourth and final construction contract in the Haga stage of the West Link Project, which will provide Gothenburg with a coherent commuter and regional railway network.
