Implenia
has won the EUR325,06 million (SEK 3.5 billion) contract in Sweden for the
twin-track expansion of the railway line between Varberg and Hamra on the
country’s west coast. This contract includes the construction of a 2.8 km
conventional tunnel, a 450 m cut-and-cover tunnel, a 1.3-km cutting, several
bridges, a new railway station and a total of 2.7 km of track, plus a freight
train station. The building work will take around six years, during which time
the railway line will continue to operate. From 2024, trains should be running
on the new tracks beneath Varberg’s city centre. Visit https://www.implenia.com. 36/19.
