Korsvägen station is an railway station currently under construction in Gothenburg, Sweden. Designed to serve both commuter trains and regional trains as part of the West Link project, the station is named after the Korsvägen intersection, which has been a key tram stop since the 1880s and has served as a hub for trams heading in five directions since the early 2000s. Korsvägen station is expected to open in 2030, alongside Haga station following the completion of the entire West Link tunnel to Centralen station.[1]
