Glattpark (Opfikon), 29 June 2026 – As part of the West Link (Västlänken) project in Gothenburg, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) is awarding the execution contract for “E16 Korsvägen station“ to Implenia. The contract is worth more than CHF 250 million in a cost-plus reimbursement model and aligns well with Implenia’s strategy to focus on large, complex infrastructure projects.

Important part of the West Link
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.

“This undertaking is a strong addition to our portfolio of large-scale infrastructure projects in the Nordics and demonstrates our capability to deliver solutions for complex challenges in urban transportation. We look forward to working with Trafikverket to successfully realise Korsvägen station,” states Erwin Scherer, Head Division Civil Engineering at Implenia.

Already in 2024, Implenia was selected by Trafikverket to construct a section of the new West Link scheme, including a rail tunnel and the new “Haga” underground station.

A strong focus on project delivery
The contract for the “E16 Korsvägen station“ project was awarded following a competitive tender process in which Trafikverket placed particular emphasis on added value in efficient start-up, organisation and logistics. Implenia submitted a strong and well-balanced bid, underpinned by solutions tailored to construction in a demanding urban environment.

The project will be carried out as an execution contract with Implenia serving as the contractor. The project will be executed according to the West Link schedule.

Challenging construction in a central urban location
The works will be carried out in a central urban environment, placing high demands on planning, coordination and logistics. Implenia will apply proven methods in combination with digital tools to ensure efficient and safe execution.

The project also includes clear sustainability ambitions, with a focus on resource efficiency and the minimization of environmental impact.
