The contract comprises foundation and civil engineering works for the Lundbyleden–Brunnsbo station section, which will include two railway bridges and a road bridge as well as piled foundations, retaining walls and the lifts at Brunnsbo station. Production in the project will begin in 2025, and all four contracts that make up Lundbyleden are scheduled to be completed by 2029/2030.

“We are looking forward to contribute to improving infrastructure that simplifies everyday life for people in Western Sweden. We have worked with the Swedish Transport Administration on many successful projects before, and I am confident that this will be yet another,” says Fredrik Indevall, Regional Manager at Veidekke Infrastructure Sweden.

The rebuilding of Lundbyleden is part of the "West Sweden package" (Västsvenska paketet) project, which comprises comprehensive transport infrastructure investments. The goal is to make it easier to get around by train, bus, tram, bicycle and car, make public transport a more attractive option and provide businesses in Western Sweden with more reliable transport solutions.
