Citytunneln is a railway project that will benefit Malmö, Skåne, the Öresund region and the whole of southern Sweden. The Citytunnel project will create a fast and effective link between the major rail routes, comprising the Southern Main line and West Coast line to the Öresund Bridge and the Ystad and Trelleborg lines. Malmö C will become an even more important centre than previously, while at the same time Malmö city centre will become more alive. Citytunneln is also a project with major environmental advantages.
