Implenia has won the contract to build Korsvägen station, one of three underground stations for Gothenburg’s West Link (Västlänken) project

The contract, awarded by the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), is worth more than CHF250m (€271m) and includes the station construction and the installation of technical systems.

Korsvägen will be an important hub for public transport in Gothenburg and improve access to prominent venues such as Liseberg amusement park, Universeum science museum and the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre. The West Link will also increase capacity on the city’s rail system.

“This undertaking is a strong addition to our portfolio of large-scale infrastructure projects in the Nordics and demonstrates our capability to deliver solutions for complex challenges in urban transportation. We look forward to working with Trafikverket to successfully realise Korsvägen station,” said Erwin Scherer, head division civil engineering at Implenia.

In 2024, Trafikverket awarded Implenia the contract to construct a section of the new West Link scheme, including a rail tunnel and the new Haga underground station.
