The project, valued at SEK 1.7 billion (US$178 million), will be included in Skanska’s order bookings for Europe in Q2 2025.

The “I/12 Běchovice–Úvaly” bypass includes 23 bridges and six multi-level crossings. Designed to divert transit traffic away from residential areas, the project is expected to improve safety and reduce environmental impact within densely populated districts.

Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2025 and complete by the end of 2027.
