Skagerrakbanan will create many new jobs. This applies to all three phases: railway construction, using it for travel, and its impact. During the construction phase, temporary concrete factories will create new jobs in Sweden and Norway alike. When Skagerrakbanan is completed and we begin using it for travel, operating the line will create long-term jobs. Skagerrakbanan will have a long-term impact on the labour market and lead to more jobs in many different areas. It is expected to create 35,000 new jobs by 2040.
