The Swedish transport administration Trafikverket has awarded a major track renewal project to Strukton Rail, involving the railway stretch between the villages of Boden and Bastuträsk in Upper Norrland, the northernmost area of Sweden. Strukton will renew 80 km of double- track to start with the option to renew another 16 km of double track.
The project will be carried out in three stages. The first stage will start as early as April 2016, covering the stretch between Koler and Älsbyn, followed by Storblåliden-Koler and Bastuträsk-Träskholm. The entire project is scheduled for completion in October 2017.
The railway line involved is the main railway line through Upper Norrland, served primarily by freight trains. It provides a highly important transport route for the mining and forestry industry in northern Sweden.
