The Swedish Transport Administration is building a so-called west link under central Gothenburg. The tunnel will be used to create a railway for commuter and regional trains. The west link will connect railway lines north and south of Gothenburg thereby enabling traffic to pass through the city. Work on the link is proceeding in stages.
For the central stage, Green Cargo is delivering sheet piling straight to the work site by rail. A total of 8,600 t of sheet piling from Luxembourg will be used in the project. The railfreight services delivering most of the sheet piling to the site correspond to almost 370 truckloads being taken of the road to and within central Gothenburg. (ben)
