Veidekke has signed a contract worth NOK 295 million with Bane NOR, The Follo Line Project, to complete concrete works in Gamlebyen, Oslo.
This is the third of four contracts awarded by Bane NOR on the Follo Line since the agreement with the Italian main contractor Condotte was completed.
Bane NOR is building a new double track between Oslo Central Station and Ski (the Follo Line). The Follo Line is Norway's largest transport project and includes a 20-kilometres tunnel - the longest of its kind in the Nordic region. The new double track between Oslo Central Station and the public transport centre Ski constitutes the core of the InterCity development southeast of Oslo.
The contract won by Veidekke is referred to as 'Klypen-Loenga', and mainly comprises concrete works relating to the Follo Line's approach into Oslo Central Station. Construction starts in August and is slated for completion in summer 2019. The Follo Line is scheduled for use from late 2021.
