A milestone has been passed in the work of extending the Stockholm Metro. The first blast in Södermalm marks the start for the extension straight under the water in the Saltsjön bay.

Around 80 guests, seven speeches and one big bang. On Monday March 4th, the historic expansion of the Metro was initiated.

Construction began with a ceremonial starting blast in a rock cavern in Barkarby, which brought together all the parties who are involved in paying for the new Metro.

The Metro to Barkarby will be completed in 2026. These pictures show what the entrances to Barkarbystaden will look like in the future.

This station on the Blue line will have two entrance ways into the emerging city centre. The eastern entrance way will be situated on the ground floor in a new building, while the western entrance way will be constructed as a pavilion in the middle of the central square.

These images portray a future scenario that may be changed.

Both ships/barges and trucks are still of interest for the transportation of rock from the Metro construction sites. This is apparent from analysis of the load tests conducted at Blasieholmen.

Now when the Metro is to be extended southwards from the station in Kungsträdgården, the same construction tunnel will be used as that used in the 1970's. The tunnel contains fill from the last time the Metro was extended.

Planeringen av nya linjen Fridhemsplan-Älvsjö påbörjas 2020

Work on the next step to expand the Stockholm underground system – the line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö – will start soon, according to a decision by the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm.

“Early next year we’ll start getting organised to work on the new project”, says Stefan Persson, Head of the Planning Department for Region Stockholm’s Extended Metro Administration.

What affects the environment least – transporting rock by boat or by truck? In October this will be tested on Blasieholmen, in the very centre of Stockholm.

On Blasieholmen, a work tunnel still remains from when the Kungsträdgården underground station was constructed in the late 1970's. The tunnel is currently full of rubble, but because the tunnel will be used again when the Blue Line is extended south, this needs to be removed.

Preparatory works are currently under way at Kungsträdgården Station, where the Blue line will in time be extended in the direction of Nacka and Söderort.

Up until now the tracks at Kungsträdgården have ended a hundred metres or so into the tunnel south of the platform. At this point the entire platform structure will be demolished before work can start on construction of the new tunnels to extend the Blue line southwards.

The railway plan for the Metro to Arenastaden has now been submitted to Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration, who will finalize it.

"It feels really good! We have worked hard on the railway plan for a number of years now, and I am both proud and pleased that we have come so far with it,” says Project Director Malin Harders.

Work has continued at a fast rate in Barkarby this summer. The focus before the autumn has been on the blasting and excavation of construction tunnels.

The work this summer has been centred on three construction tunnels for the extension of the Blue line to Barkarby. During the construction period they are used for the transport of personal, machinery and excavated rock between the ground surface and the rail tunnels that are being blasted below ground.

No serious accidents while the new Metro is being built. That is our goal. In order to achieve it, we need good strategies, procurements with the right focus and a personal presence on our building sites.

The number of work environment accidents with a fatal outcome has increased in Sweden during recent years. And the construction industry is one important area in which there are far too many deaths at work.
