Rejlers and AECOM win contract for the Swedish Transport Administration for the development of the Southeast Link
Rejlers and AECOM have together won an assignment from the Swedish Transport Administration within the framework of the Southeast Link – a strategic investment to strengthen the railway network in southern Sweden. The assignment concerns the design of a new meeting track on the Blekinge coastal railway, between Olofström and Mörrum in Karlshamn municipality.

Rejlers is responsible for developing a railway plan, including an environmental impact assessment, system document and tender documents for the procurement of a turnkey contract. The work also includes the investigation of alternative track locations, technical solutions and the management of the necessary permits. The assignment is carried out in collaboration with AECOM, on behalf of the Swedish Transport Administration.
The new meeting track is a key component in increasing capacity and improving punctuality on the currently single-track section between Kristianstad and Karlskrona – an important link with connections to Malmö and Copenhagen. The project is a central part of the Swedish Transport Administration's work to create a more flexible and reliable transport system for both freight and passenger traffic.
“We are proud to be able to contribute to the development of Swedish railway infrastructure through this strategically important project. The Southeast Link is an important part of the sustainable transport solutions of the future, and we look forward to delivering high-quality solutions that contribute to a robust and modern rail link”, say Hamzeh Hassoun and Albin Holmberg, Business Area Managers for Rail at Rejlers.
“With this, we continue to strengthen our collaboration with the Swedish Transport Administration and our contribution to long-term sustainable infrastructure solutions in Sweden. This is an important step in the continued growth of AECOM in the Swedish market, and we look forward to contributing to the development of the Southeast Link together with Rejlers. By combining our global expertise with local knowledge, we are committed to delivering innovative, resilient, and sustainable transport solutions that support Sweden’s future mobility needs”, states Martin Ålenius, Business Development Manager for AECOM in Sweden.
