Skanska builds new tram depot in Gothenburg, Sweden, for SEK 847 M

The tram depot consists of two buildings, one for operations and one workshop hall. Skanska is also building the track system in and between the two buildings. The operational building contains space for service and deployment of the trams together with rooms for staff. In the workshop hall there will be room for maintenance and repair, and rooms for administration and staff.

The tram depot is a vital ingredient in the long-term effort to strengthen the public transport in the region. It will offer possibilities to handle the future expansion of the tram operations and it is a welcome addition to the already existing depots in the region.

Construction start is scheduled for the end of 2020 and the work will be completed by the end of February, 2024.
