# Swedish railway infrastructure planning developments > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/swedish-railway-infrastructure-planning-developments > Updated: 2026-09-22T09:33:03.000Z. Sources: 3. Developments: 2. Trafikverket has announced several planning developments for major Swedish railway projects. For the Sydostlänken project, the agency proposed a new route between Olofström and the Blekinge coastline. The proposal includes details on landscape integration, road impacts, and considerations for environmental, safety, and residential interests, with public consultations scheduled to gather feedback. Regarding the Ostlänken project, authorities decided to proceed with a grade-separated connection to the Southern Main Line at Torvinge, east of Linköping, rather than extending into central Linköping. This decision aligns with national infrastructure plans for 2026–2037. For the Norrbotniabanan, a preferred route was identified between the Västerbotten/Norrbotten border and Munksund. The plan features a fixed high bridge, approximately 30 meters tall, over Pitsund to accommodate shipping. The route is intended to follow Havsbadsvägen to minimize the impact on reindeer husbandry and residential areas. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: Trafikverket advances planning for Ostlänken and Norrbotniabanan railways Trafikverket has finalized planning details for Sweden's Ostlänken and Norrbotniabanan railway projects, including a new connection near Linköping and a fixed bridge over Pitsund. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/trafikverket-advances-planning-for-ostlnken-and-norrbotniabanan-railways ### 2026-09-14: Trafikverket announces new Sydostlänken railway route proposal Trafikverket will present a proposed new railway route for the Sydostlänken project between Olofström and the Blekinge coast line, inviting public consultation on September 16. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/trafikverket-announces-new-sydostlnken-railway-route-proposal --- Cite as: Swedish railway infrastructure planning developments.
