Stockholm’s new Metro: journey to the heart of the city
29 September 2025In the video “UNDERGROUND SUBWAY CONSTRUCTION!”, Swedish influencer and science communicator Johan Lindeberg takes us on an underground journey through his YouTube channel “Raketforskaren.”
It’s a documentary exploring the new metro stations being built in Stockholm — one of Itinera’s major construction sites in the Scandinavian capital.
Joining him is Andreas, Supervisor at Itinera, who guides him through the site, explaining the different phases of the work, the technologies being used, and the daily challenges faced by our crews.
Through close-up footage, the video captures excavations, support structures, controlled blasting, machinery in action, and the operational aspects of underground construction. Johan talks with workers and engineers, giving viewers an inside look at the engineering expertise and precise organization required to build a modern metro network beneath an already densely populated city.
If you’re curious about how a subway is built beneath the city — with all its technical, logistical, and human complexities — this documentary is the perfect watch: a fascinating window into the invisible work that is reshaping urban mobility.
