About the Project
In northwest Stockholm, the metro’s Blue Line is being extended from Akalla to Barkarby – a four-kilometer stretch with two new stations. Barkarbystaden Station is being built on the former Barkarby airfield, while Barkarby Station is being constructed next to the Barkarby commuter train station, near Veddesta Bridge. The metro extension between Akalla and Barkarby will run underground.
Key Transport Hub
Barkarby will become an important hub for public transport travelers, with metro, commuter trains, buses, long-distance trains, and regional trains all seamlessly connected. New cross-regional connections will be created, linking the Stockholm region with Mälardalen.
New Housing and Workplaces
Järfälla Municipality plans to build 14,000 new homes and thousands of workplaces by 2035. Around the new Barkarbystaden station, an urban environment is emerging on the site of the former airfield. On the other side of the E18, near Barkarby commuter train station, the old Veddesta center and industrial area are being transformed into a vibrant city district.
Nya stationer
Barkarby
With the metro, Barkarby is strengthened as a key hub for all public transport travelers. New cross-regional connections are created with smooth transfers between multiple modes of transport. The travel time between Barkarby and T-Centralen will be 26 minutes.
Barkarbystaden
Barkarbystaden Station is centrally located among residential areas, with close access to schools, shopping, services, culture, and nature. A significant portion of the 14,000 homes that Järfälla Municipality plans to build will be in Barkarbystaden.
