:

In the early 2000s, the deteriorating state of the 1935 interchange prompted the decision to rebuild the area entirely. A design competition in 2007 led to plans by [[Foster + Partners]] and Berg Arkitektkontor being approved in 2011. Construction began in 2016, with completion scheduled for 2027. The project is to rebuild water regulation infrastructure, while modernising Slussen as a mixed-use public space with improvised public transport.<ref>[https://vaxer.stockholm/nyheter/2016/06/flera-forandringar-i-framkomligheten-under-juni/ Stockholm Municipality]</ref>

==== Cultural and Political Impact ====
The redevelopment project has faced criticism and public debate. Some have opposed the loss of the historic 1935 structure, while others support the need for modernisation. The new design includes parks, plazas, and waterfront promenades, aiming to revitalise the area.<ref>{{Cite news|title=The Slussen Debate in Stockholm|author=Staff|date=25 September 2013|publisher=Stockholm News}}</ref>

A central feature of the new design is the ''Golden Bridge'' (''Guldbron''), officially known as Slussbron, which connects [[Södermalm]] to [[Gamla stan]]. The bridge accommodates vehicle traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. It was manufactured in [[China]] and shipped to Stockholm in 2020, where it opened to traffic on 26 October 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://vaxer.stockholm/nyheter/2020/04/da-oppnar-slussbron-for-trafik/ |title=Då öppnar Slussbron för trafik|publisher=Stockholm Municipality}}</ref>
