STOCKHOLM, June 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Skanska has secured the contract for design and construction of the E10/rv. 85 road project in northern Norway procured by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA). The contract is worth NOK 11.4 billion, about SEK 11.4 billion, which will be included in the Nordic order bookings for the second quarter of 2023.

Skanska has further secured a contract for operations and maintenance services of the completed road for a term of 15 years' worth NOK 1.0 billion, about SEK 1.0 billion.

The E10/rv. 85 Tjeldsund - Gullesfjordbotn - Langvassbukt is part of the transport link between Lofoten, Vesterålen Harstad/ Narvik Airport and the E6.
