NCC awarded billion-kronor contract for tunnel on E16 expressway in Norway


NCC has been commissioned by the Norwegian Road Administration to construct the
Bjørnegård Tunnel on the E16 expressway between Sandvika and Wøyen in Norway.
The order amounts to approximately SEK 1.3 billion.
The E16 is one of Norway’s busiest two-lane highways and the primary link
between Oslo and Bergen. The Bjørnegård Tunnel will be part of the new E16
expressway and will help to improve accessibility and enhance traffic safety,
while also contributing to the development of Sandvika.

“This transaction is proof of our strong competitiveness in complex
infrastructure projects that require advanced engineering and operational
expertise. This is the second billion-kronor contract we have secured from the
Norwegian Road Administration during this quarter. We look forward to successful
cooperation with our client and the road users that will be affected,” says
Håkon Tjomsland, Business Area Manager for NCC Construction Norway.

The 2.3-kilometer-long new tunnel will comprise a two-lane dual carriageway. The
assignment also includes a 290-meter-long connecting tunnel, as well as
extensive road works where the E16 joins the E18. NCC has solid experience of
advanced tunnel and infrastructure projects in Norway, and is currently working
on several large-scale tunnel and bridge projects.

At the construction site, NCC will apply its proprietary Green Construction
environmental concept for construction and civil engineering projects, which
entails more stringent demands in a number of areas compared with the minimum
requirements set by authorities.

Work will commence in January 2015 and continue until December 2019. The order
will be registered during the fourth quarter 2014 in the NCC Construction Norway
business area.
