The Swedish Transport Administration has commissioned NCC to construct the significant Central Station phase of the West Link project. The Transport Administration has budgeted some SEK 3 billion (323 million euros) for the phase in question.
The total assignment includes a railway tunnel from the E6 Highway in the east, a rock tunnel through the Lejonet redoubt, an underground commuter train station located immediately north of Gothenburg Central Station and the remaining railway tunnel to the west up to the Gothenburg Opera House, a section of nearly 2 kilometers. A bridge over the E6 Highway may also be included in the project.
The contract will be performed under a new model called Early Contractor Involvement, ECI. The ECI entails that NCC, in close cooperation with the Transport Administration, will account for project planning and cost optimization of the project.
