Additional platform tracks at Malmö C will be brought forward and the government will appoint a negotiator to investigate how future surpluses from the Öresund Bridge can be invested in infrastructure in the region.
This region is expansive. It connects Sweden and Denmark in a completely unique way and many businesses want to expand here, says Kristersson.
According to Infrastructure Minister Andreas Carlson (KD), the route between Hässleholm and Lund is already a bottleneck.
He believes that the work should have started earlier, given that the Fehmarn Belt connection is expected to open in 2029 and greatly increase freight traffic.
When we added new projects two and a half years ago to prepare for increased capacity on the Öresund Bridge, it was probably the first time the Fehmarn Belt was mentioned in a government decision. We had just taken office.
