Reported scope and milestone
Veidekke: Region Stockholm awarded Veidekke an execution contract announced on 17 June 2026 for an access tunnel to the Yellow Line metro station at Årstaberg.
Engineering interpretation
The approximately 600 m tunnel contract is worth about SEK 150 million and includes rock excavation and part of the station area, with an option for added excavation. Completion is planned in 2028.
Delivery responsibilities
The reported construction package defines the contractor’s delivery responsibilities. Civil works, building services, installation and commissioning may sit with different contractors or joint-venture partners. The full project budget is distinct from an individual contractor’s award. Contract award, site mobilization, practical completion and operation are separate milestones; planned dates and capacity remain prospective until the owner confirms delivery. The source-defined scope therefore matters when comparing a civil contractor, a construction manager and an integrated design-and-build provider.
