en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Yellow Line construction project of the Stockholm metro in Sweden has recently achieved new progress, with the contract for the tunnel and station construction of the metro line to Älvsjö formally awarded.

The contract scope covers the excavation of the metro tunnel between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö, as well as blasting works at the stations in Älvsjö, Östberga Höjden, Årstafältet, and Årstaberg. The project will deploy two tunnel boring machines to excavate the twin metro tunnels. Johan Brantmark, Project Manager for the metro line to Älvsjö, explained: "The various tasks are interdependent. We believe that planning and execution by a single contractor offers the greatest potential for efficient completion."

According to the project schedule, the tunnel boring machines are planned to arrive in Stockholm in the autumn of 2029 and will be assembled in Älvsjö. The new Yellow Line will operate with driverless trains, and once in service, it will improve public transport connections between central Stockholm and the southern districts, while also serving the new urban areas planned between Årstafältet and Östberga Höjden, as well as in the Årstaberg area.

This metro tunnel line is expected to be completed in 2035.
