NCC to construct E4 bridges in Rotebro

NCC Construction Sweden has been commissioned to demolish and replace
two existing bridges that cross the railway at Rotebro, in Sollentuna
municipality. The client is the Swedish Transport Administration and the
order value is approximately SEK 325 M. Construction is scheduled to
commence in February 2011.

The E4 Highway, both northbound and southbound, cross the bridges. A
challenge will be to demolish and replace the bridges while allowing
road and railway traffic to pass the worksite with as little disruptions
as possible.

NCC has a method where the new eastern bridge will be constructed in a
provisional location and used as a temporary detour during the
construction period. After this, the existing western bridge will be
demolished and replaced by a new one. Further, the existing eastern
bridge will also be demolished and the new eastern bridge will be pushed
into its permanent position. In this manner, there will be two separate
bridges throughout the majority of the construction period, each with
three lanes where road-users will be able to pass.

”We have chosen a solution that provides more uniform traffic rhythm,
less exhaust fumes and noise since the risk for queues will decrease,”
says Sören Backlund, Business Manager of NCC Construction, Region
Stockholm/Mälardalen.

During the two summer weeks, when the bridge has been pushed aside, road
users will be able to pass using two lanes in each direction, with a
speed of 70 kilometers per hour.

The construction will occupy an average of 45 people and the project is
scheduled for completion during the spring of 2014. The order will be
registered in the first quarter of 2011.
