Skanska has been appointed by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration to build the bridge over the Nidelv River.
The US$85 million contract also includes connections to current and future road networks on both sides of the river, approximately 1.4km of new road and a new pedestrian and bicycle path as well as 80m of tunnel and the portals for the future Byåsen Tunnel.
The new road will cross the Leirelva River in two places and two smaller bridges will also be built under the contract.
Construction is scheduled to start in October 2020 for completion in August 2024.
