The construction deal is part of a design and build contract that includes work from engineering consultancy Ramboll, with the package valued at €188 million.
Skanska’s contract, valued at approximately €111 million, primarily involves the design and construction of a 15km stretch of the E6 – a section with 2x2 lanes, featuring a new intersection and connection to the existing E6.
The scope of work includes 15km of local roads, 800m of tunnel, six bridges, two wildlife crossings and various smaller constructions.
50% emissions reduction
Sustainability is built into the project, which promises to cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 50%, compared with regulatory benchmarks.
Skanska says the project is expected to receive environmental certification at the BREEAM Infrastructure Whole Team Award level of Very Good.
Detailed engineering activities will start immediately, with construction work expected to begin in the spring of 2024.
The road network is slated for completion by the autumn of 2027.
