The dredging work in Luleå will resume in the spring of 2027

It is almost two years since the dredging works last left Luleå. Then the procurements were canceled when the costs skyrocketed.

This summer, however, a new contract for the dredging work was signed between the Swedish Maritime Administration, Luleå Harbor and a new contractor, which means that the work can resume next spring.

With such an extensive project, questions often arise about how the archipelago and the surrounding environment will be affected. However, Max Bjurström, project manager at the Swedish Maritime Administration, assures that there is no need to claim any new land areas.

- For example, in the passage between Klubbviken and Likskär, we will need to reinforce land on both sides, but otherwise all work will be done completely below the water's surface.

Before the start next year, the Swedish Maritime Administration and Port of Luleå plan to invite to an information meeting for the public. The new contractor will also participate there to talk about the work planned for 2027.
