HOCHTIEF has been awarded a contract to design and expand a 26-kilometer section of the East Link railway line near Stockholm. The project, with an estimated volume of up to around EUR 900 million (9.5 billion SEK), is being developed in collaboration with the client Trafikverket (Swedish transport administrator) (trafikverket.se) as part of a partnership agreement. The subsequent construction phase is scheduled to run until 2034.
Juan Santamaría, CEO of HOCHTIEF: "Our end-to-end capabilities as a leading infrastructure and services provider enable us to deliver high-quality rail assets. With the expansion of this rail link in Sweden, we are making a significant contribution to the growth of efficient and sustainable transport infrastructure in Northern Europe."
The OL31 Vagnhärad project, located southwest of Stockholm, is part of the planned 160-kilometer East Link rail connection between Järna and Linköping. The project involves the design and construction of several tunnels and large bridges as well as a train station.
HOCHTIEF is currently planning, building, and expanding several high-speed rail lines, including a large section of the California High-Speed Rail in the USA and the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project in Australia. As part of the general renovation of the German rail infrastructure network, HOCHTIEF won a major contract from Deutsche Bahn last July to expand a 42-kilometer section of double-track line on the right bank of the Rhine between Wiesbaden and Lorchhausen.
