The main access tunnel has been moved to align Stockholm's main street. This solution will create a new east-west direction of trains through the station and provide central access to all mainline trains, Arlanda Express trains and City Terminal buses.
The central street was narrowed to make room for expansion into the station's waiting room. Illustration: dezeen.com/
Developers will throw bridges across the railway tracks to create space for new multi-purpose buildings and street landscapes.

According to the visualization, six new buildings will be built over the tracks. They were designed, inspired by the architecture of the Klara district with the church of St. Klara. There are also plans to build a logistics center.
