Skanska to build railway by Hallsberg, Sweden, for SEK 398 M


Skanska has signed a contract with the Swedish Transport Administration to
expand a section of the freight line Hallsberg-Degerön in Sweden. The contract
is worth SEK 398 M, which is included in order bookings for Skanska Sweden for
the fourth quarter of 2014.
The route is currently a single-track railway with low capacity. Through the
expansion to double-track the capacity is increased which relieves the main
tracks from freight traffic. The project is a turnkey contract covering 13
kilometers double-track railway, seven bridges and about 9 kilometers of roads
and noise reducing measures.

Project planning will commence immediately and the project is expected to be
completed in October 2019.

The construction of the double-track railway line will employ 120 people in
total.
