The Varberg Tunnel project, being undertaken by the Swedish Transport Administration (STA), involves the construction of a double track, a new station and a tunnel through Varberg, Sweden.
Construction on the project began in December 2019. The project schedule comprises two phases. The first phase, related to planning and design, was completed between 2015 and 2018 while the second phase, dedicated to construction, is expected to be completed by 2025.
The project will build an approximately 3.1km long tunnel under central Varberg and a 9km double track between Varberg and Hamra.
The Varberg to Hamra route connecting the Gothenburg and south-western Skåne regions serves as a key link to Copenhagen and other areas of Europe.
Located near the city centre, the new station will have submerged platforms. The first floor of the building will feature waiting rooms and amenities, such as a café, kiosk, restaurants and travel shop. The second floor will have a staff area for traffic companies, break rooms and technology spaces.
