Veidekke has been commissioned by the Swedish Transport Administration to execute a so-called critical contract on the Korsvägen section of Gothenburg’s West Link rail project. The contract will be carried out over a limited period, on an ongoing basis. Veidekke has now been commissioned to protect the work site and perform critical production in the Korsvägen, Skår and Almedal part of the section.

The Swedish Transport Administration recently terminated the agreement with the contractor WLC (Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau AG and NCC Sverige AB) encharged to build the Korsvägen section for major cost increases, and delays in the contract.The Swedish Transport Administration conducted several reviews over the past five years to obtain explanations from the contractor and its  latest review showed systematic shortcomings and errors.

The contract for Korsvägen section, part of  West Link (Vastlanken) in Gothenburg, includes the construction of a 3.2 km section with an underground station and its train tunnel, connecting in the north to the Haga contract and in the south to existing tracks on the West Coast Line and Borasbanan.
