Follow Hilda's Petursdottir's apartment in the clip.

Hilda Petursdottir's apartment is located right on the edge above Västlänksbygget at the Opera in Gothenburg.

Outside her window, work is going on between 07.00 and 19.00 weekdays and has been doing so since 2019.

- It affects me mentally.

I am sometimes afraid that it will affect my work, says Hilda Petursdottir.

Stayed at a hotel

She works at night, so when she goes to sleep, the work with blasting and drilling is going on right outside her window.

Therefore, she and several others in the same property have accepted the Swedish Transport Administration's offer of replacement housing.

In total, Hilda has lived in a hotel for about six months since construction began, something that the magazine Hem & Hyra was the first to tell about.

- Right now I do not do it as it works poorly.

I prefer to sleep at home with earplugs, says Hilda Petursdottir.

And she does not want a replacement apartment as she does not have the strength to drag her things back and forth between two homes.

Dirty home

The sound of blasting, drilling, piling and stone crushing is heard through the closed windows and dust from the building is constantly finding its way into the apartment.

- My home is dirty.

I have to clean all the time.

I can not listen to the radio.

I can not invite people home.

You do not understand how I feel if you do not come here, says Hilda Petursdottir.

Despite the living environment, the landlord Bostadsbolaget does not reduce the rent, however, it does not increase it.

No reduced rent

Jennie Midler is property manager at the Swedish Transport Administration for Västlänken.

She believes that they have taken action by offering hotels.

- I fully understand that it can be very disturbing to live close to our work areas.

And that is exactly what our offer aims at, to offer recovery and rest in another place, she says.

She continues:

- It is a balance between public and private interests and when we build projects as large as Västlänken, it is not easy to build without disturbing and making noise, says Jennie Midler.
