NCC to construct public transport hub in Bergen

NCC is to construct the new Birkelandskrysset traffic hub in Bergen. The
contract with the county traffic company, Bybanen Utbygging, comprising a new
tramway bridge, pedestrian and bicycle roads, a public transport terminal and a
parking garage, is valued at SEK 490 million.
“The tramway is a visionary public transport initiative in Bergen. We are
delighted to be part of a major new project for a sustainable Bergen,” says
District Manager Henning Simonsen at NCC Construction in Norway.

NCC is a major contractor in the construction of Bergen Light Rail, and this is
the seventh contract with Bybanen Utbygging.

The civil-engineering site will be a Green Construction Site, NCC’s proprietary
environmental concept for construction and civil-engineering sites. This means
that NCC will place stringent environmental demands in many areas. The project
is scheduled for completion in November 2015.

“One of the deciding factors in Bybanen Utbygging’s selection of NCC was our
plans concerning health and safety issues, as well as the competencies we could
offer in the project,” says Simonsen.

Since the new traffic hub will cross existing roads and pedestrian and bicycle
paths, it is important that traffic is diverted in a safe and efficient manner
during the construction period. Accordingly, a temporary bus terminal will be
built, as well as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge across Birkelandskrysset.

The project is scheduled for completion in November 2015. The order will be
registered in the fourth quarter of NCC Construction Norway.
