Bilfinger Berger wins €100 million order for railway tunnel in Stockholm

Bilfinger Berger has won an order to build a 1.9-kilometer long section of the City Rail Tunnel in the Swedish capital of Stockholm, improving the connection from the city’s main station to the national railway network. The order has a volume of €100 million. The tunnel section will be completed by 2015 and the entire line will go into service in 2017.

The dual-track main tunnel will be built using the drill and blast method. A service tunnel built parallel to the main tunnel will later ensure trouble-free maintenance and a high safety standard. A new 700-meter long station will also be built below an existing subway station, providing passengers with direct access to Stockholm’s urban transit system.

Bilfinger Berger is currently carrying out a similar project in Malmö: the 4.6-kilometer long City Tunnel is the final section of the Öresund crossing which connects Malmö’s Central Station with the neighbouring Danish capital of Copenhagen. Structural works for the €260 million project will be completed in the summer of 2009 and the tunnel will go into operation in 2011.
