The contract comprises the construction of Korsvägen Station, one of three underground stations within the West Link project. The scope also includes the installation of technical systems for the station. The station will become an important hub for public transport in Gothenburg and improve access to prominent venues such as Liseberg amusement park, Universeum science museum and the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre. At the same time, the project will increase capacity in the rail system and support more sustainable travel in the region. Already in 2024, Implenia had been selected by Trafikverket to construct a section of the new West Link scheme, including a rail tunnel and the new “Haga” underground station.
