Design and construction
The station will feature a single underground island platform, and it will have two entrances. The northern entrance, located at Rökerigatan, will be approximately 200 meters from the existing Globen station. The southern entrance, at Hallvägen & Charkmästargatan, will be situated under a planned new park.[3]
Construction of the Slakthusområdet station commenced as part of the ongoing extension of the Blue Line towards Söderort. Tunnelling and rock blasting operations are underway beneath the area to prepare for the station and related infrastructure.[4] The station is anticipated to be operational by 2030, with the redevelopment of the surrounding Slakthusområdet area expected to be complete in 2033.[5]
Surrounding area
The new Slakthusområdet station is designed to accommodate the influx of residents and businesses in the Slakthusområdet, which is being transformed into a new urban area with housing, commercial spaces, schools.[5] With the opening of Slakthusområdet station, the existing stations at Enskede Gård and Globen will be closed, with their branch of the green line being connected instead to the Blue Line.[1][6]
