Veidekke has been commissioned by the Swedish Transport Administration to build
the Stora Hamnkanalen tunnel, a part of the West Link Project in central
Gothenburg. The contract value was estimated at SEK 280 million as at the start
of the procurement process, before completion of the design.
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.
