NCC to construct road and tunnel in Kristiansand for SEK 510 million

NCC Construction Norway, together with Repstad Anlegg, is to construct
slightly more than 2 kilometers of new road and tunnel Kristiansand in
southern Norge. The total contract is worth approximately SEK 730
million and NCC's portion amounts to about SEK 510 million. The client
is the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.

 

County Road 456 is the trunk road for a large section of the population
of Kristiansand. The new section of road between Kolsdalen and
Lumberkrysset is being constructed in order to overcome problems caused
by traffic jams.

The road project comprises a total of 2.4 kilometers in a new four-lane
road, encompassing a main tunnel with two 1.3 km tunnel tubes, two
smaller tunnels, five central islands and a number of small concrete
structures.

The project will commence in August and is scheduled to be completed
prior to the summer of 2014.

The order will be registered in the third quarter of 2010.
