infrastructure
Luleå is in an expansive phase, with several major infrastructure projects shaping the sustainable society of the future.
Some of Sweden’s most ambitious initiatives in water and sewage, energy transition, transport, and urban development are currently underway here.
Framtidens hamn (Port of the Future)
The Port of the Future in Luleå is a major development project aimed at meeting the growing demand for sustainable transport in the industrial sector. The project includes a new port layout, deepened shipping channels, a new deep-sea port, and improved railway connections.

Östra länken (The Eastern Link)
The Eastern Link is one of Sweden’s largest water and sewage infrastructure projects, aimed at modernizing the city’s water and wastewater systems. The project began in 2014 and is scheduled for completion in 2026. It includes over 20 kilometers of new pipelines and several new pumping stations. The goal is to secure water supply and wastewater management for a growing population, with a target of 100,000 residents.
Luleå’s Future Travel Center
Luleå’s future travel center is being developed in collaboration between Luleå Municipality, the Swedish Transport Administration, Jernhusen, and the regional public transport authority. The aim is to create a modern and attractive station that facilitates smooth transfers between trains, buses, and other modes of transport.
Malmporten
Malmporten is Sweden’s largest dredging project in modern times—but more importantly, it’s a project with major benefits for the environment, society, and people. Once completed, the Port of Luleå will be able to receive larger, fully loaded vessels and handle three to four times more cargo than today.
