Basic Project Information
Project Title
Norra länken (the Northern Link)
Location
Northern part of Stockholm cite centre, Sweden
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to create a new link for the E20 motorway from the E4
motorway “Essingeleden” in north west to Värtan in the north east. This will
improve the accessibility for Lidingö and open up for new urban developments in
“Norra Djurgårdsstaden”. Norra Länken is also a prerequisite for the development
of “Norra Stationsområdet” in the western parts. When finished, it will relieve the
traffic load in the city centre [ME].
Scope
The project includes the original plan of “Norra länken” with a connection only
between Norrtull-Värtan but also the extension of the project to include the
overdecking for “Norra Stationsområdet”. The project consists of rock and concrete
tunnels and traffic facilities in connection to the tunnels.
Contractual Framework
Mixed between design, design-build and build contracts. In total it is planned to
consist of 62 contracts [STATN] [STAE].
Relevant Physical
Dimensions
The length of the main tunnels will be 5 km of which 1 km was constructed twenty
years ago. In total it will be11 km of road tunnels, of which 9 km is rock tunnels and
2 is concrete tunnels.

MEGAPROJECT Project Performance
Aspects of Performance Concerned with Doing the Project Right
Original Targets and changes to
targets
Actual Achievements Against
Targets
Performance relating to time
If only the project in its current form is
considered, the tunnels between Norrtull and
Värtan should be open for traffic in 2015
[STAFAQ]. Norrtull to Tomteboda is planned
for 2015 and 2017. Railway tunnel for
Värtabanan in 2019 [STATN]. Procurements
of all contracts have been planned in[VV05] .
In current form, no major construction
delays have been reported. Some delays
have been reported in the early stages.
However, in 2010 was the project on, or
ahead of schedule [IN10] . A breakthrough
of finishing a continuous tunnel was
accomplished in November 2011 [IN].
Procurement plans and written contracts
have been mostly followed [STAE].
Performance relating to cost
Original stretch between Norrtull and Värtan:
11 billion SEK [STAA]
“Norra stationsområdet “ added in 2010: 5,6
billion SEK [STATN]
To be done
Performance related to
Overdecking of the E4 motorway for the
development of “Norra stationsområdet” was
added in 2010. Included was also widening
of roads to add extra capacity and a tunnel
for Värtabanan.
Contracts written in 2010. Construction has
begun.

MEGAPROJECT Project Environment
Legal and Regulatory Environment
Legal and Regulatory Project
Environment (regionally,
nationally and Europe wide)
In Sweden are road constructions regulated by the “Road Act”. This law specify , for
example, how the formal planning process should be accomplished, land owner rights, right
of way and responsibilities [RA].
Plan & bygglagen regulates planning and zoning of land developments for municipalities.
The Environmental Code include laws regarding planning, EIA’s, public participation.
Included are also laws regulating national parks, which in this case the tunnel between
Norrtull and Värtan will mostly go under. [EC]
Specific Legal and
Regulatory events impacting
on the project
In 2009, the government gave acceptance to construct the concrete tunnel near Bellevue
park with a more traditional method. This by changing a paragraph in the Environmental
Code for allowance of temporary works in national parks. This was estimated to reduce the
cost with around 1 billion SEK [BV09].
