Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket awarded OHL-NCC joint venture a EUR 215 million contract to upgrade the line between Lund and Arlöv (Malmö), one of the busiest rail routes in Sweden. OHL is a Spanish company that entered in the partnership along NCC, a local company.
The OHL-NCC joint venture will construct the first 8 km stretch between the Swedish cities of Arlöv and Flackarp, while the tender winners can choose to contribute to the design of the 3 km stretch between Flackarp and Lund, and subsequently negotiate with the client to construct it.
The project involves constructing two temporary tracks parallel to the current 5 km line, where rail traffic will run during construction. The contract will result in 4 tracks instead of the 2 current ones. This requires building a recess up to six meters deep for 5 of the 8 km of the line, including 400 meters underground near the station at Akarp. The contract includes constructing three new stations at Burlöv, Akarp and Hjärup, four over-passes and two under-passes that cross the route, and three under-passes crossing the most important road in the country (E6/E20) and widening it to three lanes in each direction.
