The Swedish infrastructure manager Trafikverket has commissioned contractor Svevia to expand the Malm\u00f6 rail freight yard. Svevia will build two new rail bridges, increase capacity and ensure more efficient freight handling at the location, the company says.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The contract is worth around 163 million Swedish crowns (nearly \u20ac15 million). It will likely last for three years, until the autumn of 2029.<\/p>\n

Malm\u00f6 freight yard will get a new siding to the existing freight yard and combined terminal approach track. This should relieve the yard\u2019s approach during high traffic, says Svevia, and improve traffic for freight trains arriving and departing via the Continental Line, which runs between Malm\u00f6 and rail freight ferry port town Trelleborg. Moreover, the expansion of the Malm\u00f6 freight yard will also enable parking 750-metre-long trains.<\/p>\n

Complexity<\/h2>\n

Svevia considers the project to be complex. \u201cBuilding a railway bridge in this environment places high demands on planning and coordination\u201d, commented company representative Annika P\u00e5lsson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to deal with several technical areas at the same time, including tracks, signalling systems and overhead lines, while the work takes place in an environment with both road and rail traffic. This is the type of technically demanding construction project where our experience comes in handy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
