Veidekke Anläggning Väst regional manager Fredrik Indevall said: “We are very pleased to have been awarded the contract to build the Haga-Otterhällan section. This demonstrates our competitiveness in executing challenging and complex infrastructure projects.” 

This construction effort is part of a broader initiative to improve rail capacity and efficiency in the region.  

The assigned section, running between Rosenlundsplatsen and the Harbor Canal, will integrate with the existing underground infrastructure, including the Götatunnel, garages, and shelters.   

The Västlänken project, a rail development spanning 8km, is designed to facilitate commuter and regional train traffic, with the majority of its route running through tunnels beneath central Gothenburg.
