Rejlers and AECOM win contract for the Swedish Transport Administration in the development of the North Bothnia Line
Rejlers and AECOM have together won a strategically important assignment for the Swedish Transport Administration in the development of the North Bothnia Line, one of Sweden's most important infrastructure investments. The collaboration includes the development of railway plans and public roads within Piteå municipality north and south of Piteå urban area.
The North Bothnia Line is a 270-kilometre long new railway between Umeå and Luleå. The project is expected to contribute to faster and more sustainable transports, strengthening the urban development and the competitiveness of businesses across Sweden.
Rejlers' and AECOM's assignments include producing line studies, railway plans with associated environmental impact assessments, and managing important permits and preparations for future construction.
- It is always satisfying to see a team effort bear fruit! Our collaboration with AECOM is now being further developed and we look forward to developing the North Bothnia Line together for a couple of years with a focus on sustainable solutions and long-term societal benefits, says Henrik Öhrnell, Head of Division Infrastructure at Rejlers.
- We are now given the opportunity to continue developing our collaboration with Trafikverket and further contribute to creating long-term sustainable infrastructure solutions. This is an important strategic milestone in our continued growth in the Swedish market, and we look forward to developing the North Botnia Line together with Rejlers and our other partners, creating better conditions for transportation along the Norrland coast, says Martin Ålenius, Business Development Manager at AECOM in Sweden
