Full speed above and under ground in Nacka
Three new metro stations and underground tunnels are being built in Nacka. A lot of work takes place underground and behind closed fence. So how is the expansion going?
– Our work is progressing steadily! We have excavated over 60 percent of the rock volume within the expansion in Nacka. During spring, we also completely finished the blasting to the east, says Erik Lindgren, Project Manager for the Blue line to Nacka.
At all end stations in the metro system, the trains need to be able to turn around. In Nacka the tracks will continue past the station to allow six trains to park over night. This eastern part of the tunnels is now completely finalized in terms of blasting.
Here you can see the progress map. The map is updated every month.
Construction sites today – nice entrances in the future
Above ground, work continues with ticket halls at the future entrances.
The underground tunnels are to be connected with the ticket halls above ground. In Jarlaberg, the future elevator shaft is taking shape (see picture) and in Järla and Sickla, work is underway with escalator shafts. After summer, work will begin with the escalator shaft outside Nacka Forum as well.
– Today we have large construction sites and it can be difficult to imagine the result. The stations will be completed gradually, says Erik Lindgren.
Installations from 2026
The current construction work – which largely consists of drilling, blasting and civil works – will be completed in 2026. After that, installations of escalators, lifts, tracks, electricity and various technical systems will take place. The station and all associated structures and construction work will be finalized both above and below ground. Traffic start in 2030.
