The Swedish Transport Administration Trafikverket has awarded Strukton Rail a contract to renew the track system at Tomteboda, just north of Stockholm central station. The works will start in September 2015 and will be completed in August next year.
This railway stretch will be the link between the existing Stockholm central line and the new Stockholm City Line (Citybanan), which will be opened for commuter traffic in 2017. In Tomteboda the two lines will join together, enabling both long-distance and commuter services up north from Stockholm.
Strukton Rail will perform most of the work at Tomteboda during the night and on weekends, to keep disruption of the rail traffic to a minimum.
“The main work will take place during some intensive weeks around Easter 2016, when we will lift out three old switches and replace them with seven new ones, while also installing the new signalling system along the entire stretch,” Strukton Rail’s responsible manager Janne Larsson said.
