How much did Hallandsås Tunnel cost to build?
The Hallandsas Tunnel is the twin-bore railway tunnel through the Hallandsas ridge in Skane and Halland in Sweden, two tubes of 8.7 km each and Sweden's longest railway tunnel, begun in 1992 after a long saga of leaks and environmental problems, with an opening ceremony on 8 December 2015 and train traffic from 13 December 2015. Trafikverket announced at the inauguration that the EU co-financed project had cost 10.8 billion kronor in 2008 prices, while Skanska gave a total of 11.3 billion.
