Why is the tracks between Stockholm central and Stockholms södra closed?

Stockholm is growing and this places high demands on the adaptation of the infrastructure. Since the opening of Citybanan, the new commuter train tunnel under central Stockholm, half of the train traffic has been moved down there. It enables the next step, namely to replace and modernize the other two tracks through central Stockholm, the so-called "Getingmidjan". The upgrading is necessary to ensure reliable and sustainable travel and transport.
