The tunnel contains fill from the last time the Metro was extended.<\/p>\n<p>In October, Region Stockholm and the City of Stockholm performed a test by loading some of the blasted rock and excavated soil on to a ship, to determine, among other things,&nbsp;how the noise generated by the loading would be experienced in the surroundings. We have now received the results:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom what we can see, there will be no major difference for the immediate surroundings when it comes to noise. Both transporting the excavated rock by truck and loading it on to a ship or barge fall below the noise requirements that we have been ordered to meet in our environmental rulings,\u201d says Andreas Burghauser, Project Director for the Blue Line to S\u00f6dermalm.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-776\" src=\"https:\/\/nyatunnelbanan.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Andreas_Burghauser_200_0_0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"266\" \/><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size:16px;\">Boat transport better for the climate<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The report that is now finished has not only looked at sound in the surroundings, but also at the economy and the impact on the climate. The costs will be approximately the same for both alternatives. On the other hand, boat transport is better for the climate in the scenario that is considered in the report. The trucks will need to drive through the inner-city area via Strandv\u00e4gen, whereas the boats in the scenario will pass through the locks at Hammarby and then continue to S\u00f6dert\u00e4lje.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now we have learnt a lot more. This outcome means that we will continue as planned and those contractors who want to submit tenders for the work will need to show us how they intend to work with both alternatives and what they cost,\u201d says Andreas Burghauser.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size:16px;\">Not yet clear where the material will be transported<\/span><\/strong><br \/>The continued work on drilling and blasting the Metro from Kungstr\u00e4dg\u00e5rden is calculated to begin in approximately a year\u2019s time.

Exactly where the excavated rock material will be received has not yet been decided, irrespective of how it is transported.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something we are continuing to work on together with the City of Stockholm,\u201d says Andreas Burghauser.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both ships\/barges and trucks are still of interest for the transportation of rock from the Metro construction sites.
