Expanded depot in Högdalen
We are expanding and modernising the metro depot in Högdalen to accommodate more trains as Stockholm’s metro system grows. Additionally, we are building a new tunnel to connect the depot to the Farsta metro branch. The project will be completed in 2026.
Background
The trains in the metro need to be washed, cleaned, and repaired so that all of us who travel by metro can ride in well-maintained and clean carriages. However, the current depot capacity is insufficient as Stockholm’s metro network grows. Therefore, we are expanding the metro depot in Högdalen, an important part of the new extended metro.
Increased capacity
The Högdalen depot is being expanded with new buildings and increased capacity. We are building new stabling areas for the trains, a new train wash, and a new graffiti removal facility. In the future, the expanded depot will be able to accommodate approximately twice as many trains as it does today.
A new 2.5 kilometer tunnel
We are building a new tunnel between the Högdalen depot and Hökarängen so that the depot can accommodate trains from both the Green Line’s Farsta branch and Hagsätra branch, which will become part of the Blue Line in the future. Next to the tunnel, we are constructing additional underground stabling areas. The blasting of the tunnel is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
