Skanska to construct phase of Mälarbanan for about SEK 400M


Skanska and the Swedish Transport Administration have signed an agreement for
the expansion of Mälarbanan between Spånga and Barkarby, north of Stockholm. The
contract is worth about SEK 400 million and will be included in the order
bookings for Skanska Sweden for the first quarter of 2016.
The project is a turnkey contract covering the expansion of Mälarbanan from two
to four tracks on a three-kilometer section as well as a new platform. Commuter
trains will have two separate tracks, while other trains will pass freely on the
two outer tracks. When the entire expansion of Mälarbanan between Tomteboda and
Kallhäll is completed in 2025 it will be easier to take the train with more
departures to choose from and easier to arrive on time.

Construction start of preparatory work is planned for the summer 2016 and the
project is expected to be fully completed during 2019.

The expansion will employ approximately 65 people at Skanska, including 8 new
employees. Skanska has since 2012 carried out several assignments for the
Transport Administration in the project Mälarbanan, including two bridges and an
underground excavation.

Skanska Sweden is one of Sweden's largest project development and construction
companies, with operations in building and civil engineering as well as in
