It gives guidelines to a project organisation on the crucial factors in managing large infrastructure projects. The IPAT is a NETLIPSE product. NETLIPSE is the Network for the dissemination of best practices and knowledge on the management and organisation of Large Infrastructure Projects in Europe (www.netlipse.eu). The core purpose of the IPAT is to assess the fitness of the project organisation and its processes and to assess the totality of management quality relating to the project (not just the physical construction). The IPAT does not help to decide on the feasibility of a project, nor on the need for funding, but it does confirm sound business case work is done. An IPAT assessment can indicate early warning signals of a project running over schedule and/or budget. By doing so, the IPAT highlights weaknesses and strengths in management and the realism of the project delivery plan for the whole project and specifically for the next project phase. This Assessment Report presents the findings of the IPAT applied to the Södertörn Crosslink Project (Tvärförbindelse Södertörn). The Södertörn Crosslink is a new road connection south of Stockholm between the European Highway E4/E20 and Haninge centrum. The Södertörn Crosslink will provide safer transport, relieve the regional road network, offer better pedestrian and cycling routes, enable better public transport, open up a new labour market and enable municipal housing construction. NETLIPSE was asked to perform this IPAT in order to assess the status of the project during the funding phase (IPAT phase: Milestone 2). The first step of the IPAT assessment is a desk study investigating the background and context of the project and defining the main project facts (described in Chapter 1), its organisation and governance (Chapter 2) and the project history (Chapter 3). The core of the assessment are the interviews with project team members as well as the client/sponsor, carried out in Stockholm 9th – 11th October 2017. The analysis of the assessment results is described in Chapter 4. The main conclusions and recommendations are presented in Chapter 5. This IPAT assessment would not have been possible without the cooperation of Trafikverket (Swedish Transport Administration) representatives. We would like to thank them for organising this assessment as well as preparing the Background Document. We would also like to thank all persons interviewed for taking the time to provide their opinions on the project and its development as well as the open atmosphere in which our discussions took place. This enabled us to reach a good consensus on the twelve themes that we have assessed and scored. We would like to thank our hosts for their hospitality and for the interesting insights provided into Swedish project management practice. We learned significantly from the assessment and trust that the Södertörn Crosslink Project Delivery Organisation (PDO) will -strengthened by the results of this assessment- prove to be successful in the current and the next project phase.

In combination with the Stockholm Bypass and Norrortsleden the Crosslink will be a part of the outer ring connecting the northern, western and southern municipalities in Stockholm County as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Södertörn Crosslink as part of the Stockholm outer ring IPAT Assessment Report Södertörn Crosslink 6 The current road 259 across Södertörn has great deficiencies in the form of: ▪ Not being designed for today’s large amount of industrial traffic. ▪ Low traffic safety for all users. ▪ Located close to and through residential areas. ▪ Lack of appropriate cycling and pedestrian routes. ▪ Few lanes causing traffic jams. An integrated solution for a new road across Södertörn will create the conditions needed for smoother and more flexible commuting to and from work, regional development and safer transportation for people and goods. The Södertörn Crosslink: ▪ Will support safer transport. ▪ Will relieve the regional road network. ▪ Offers better pedestrian and cycling routes. ▪ Enables better public transport. ▪ Opens up a new labour market. ▪ Creates benefits for municipal housing construction. 1.2 General project scope The Södertörn Crosslink is a new 20 kilometre motorway between the Highway E4/E20 at Kungens Kurva- Skärholmen through Flemingsberg to road 73 at Haninge centrum. The connection includes three tunnels: Masmo (1 km), Glömstadalen (1 km) and Flemingsbergskogen (4 km). The motorway will have 8 or 9 (to be decided) interchanges and 2 lanes in each direction separated by a barrier.

In the proposal for the National Transport Plan 4.7 billion SEK (€ 490 million) is allocated to the Södertörn Crosslink. This National plan will be decided upon in April 2018 by the Swedish Government. 4.7 billion SEK is less than half of the current cost estimate (10.14 billion SEK (€1.06 billion)). The most likely additional sources of funding is additional budget in the next National Plan, but also other sources of funding such as road or tunnel fee, PPP, toll and EU funding are being considered. The procurement strategy for the project including the composition of subcontracts is being developed by the PDO at this moment. The tunnel subcontracts will presumably be building contracts, because of the risk involved in these subprojects, whereas the road construction subcontracts will probably be design and build contracts.
