The Gothenburg–Borås Project
Due to a government decision 22 December 2022, Trafikverket has finished the planning of new main lines. A new railway between Göteborg-Borås is being evaluated.
The information below is based on the work before the government decision on 22 december 2022.
Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration, plans to build a new approximately 60 km long double track railway for high-speed trains and fast regional trains between Gothenburg and Borås.
Gothenburg–Borås is one of the links in a new railway network between Stockholm and Gothenburg/Malmö. The new railway will create a rail connection to Göteborg Landvetter Airport and link the region's two largest cities closer together. Gothenburg–Borås is a 60 km long double track railway for high-speed with a top speed of 250 km per hour. With the new network comes an increase in accessibility meaning both people and businesses will be brought closer together.
The information sheet can be found via the link below, and in it you will find valuable information on the choice of business form for the procurement of the railway plan Bollebygd for Gothenburg-Borås.
The name of the ongoing procurement is called: Consultancy Assignment For the preparation of the railway plan Bollebygd together with environmental impact assessment and system document for Gothenburg-Borås, part of new main lines within the Municipality of Bollebygd, Västra Götaland County

Brief description of the Bollebygd section
The railway plan for Bollebygd starts at the municipal border Härryda / Bollebygd and ends at the municipal border Bollebygd / Borås.
Trafikverket’s proposal for the location of the new railway, on the section in question, involves a location south of road 27/40 in the Nolån and Sörån valleys. Through the Nolån and Sörån valleys, the railway passes the existing existing Kust till Kustbanan. To the east of the valley, the railway can, depending on the topography and location in the corridor, either go into an approximately two kilometer long tunnel or walk on the ground floor near road 27/40 before it reaches the higher terrain between Bollebygd and the municipal border towards Borås.
