STOCKHOLM (Dec. 12, 2024) — AECOM, the global infrastructure leader, has partnered with Rejlers to win a strategically important contract with the Swedish Transport Administration for 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.

This is an important strategic milestone in our continued growth in the Swedish market, and we look forward to developing the North Bothnia 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.
