Sweco wins contract for the Trelleborg Line

Sweco has been chosen by the Swedish Transport Administration to plan
the upcoming rebuilding of the Trelleborg Line. The contract is worth
close to EUR 3.3 million and will begin immediately. The project is
scheduled for completion in 2016.

”There are many infrastructure projects underway in the Öresund region,
such as the planned extension of the Southern Main Line and the City
Circle Line in Copenhagen. Sweco's expertise is in high demand we are in
the process of recruiting many new consultants in this area,” says Eva
Nygren, President of Sweco Sweden.

The Trelleborg Line will be adapted for passenger traffic so that
freight traffic can continue to operate at the same time that passenger
traffic is introduced between Trelleborg and Malmö. The trains between
Trelleborg and Malmö will pass through the City Tunnel. It will take
around 30 minutes to travel from Trelleborg to central Malmö, and less
than an hour to Copenhagen. This reinforcement of public transport will
make it possible to move traffic from the road to the railway, and
thereby reduce climate impact.
