Veidekke ASA: Veidekke wins major Bergen Light Rail project
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Veidekke Entreprenør AS has signed a contract with Bergen Light Rail Development
& Construction to construct 2.7 kilometres of track from Lagunen to
Sandslivegen. The project is worth NOK 634 million, excl. VAT, and includes a
bridge, two stations and three tunnels.
The third and final construction phase of Bergen Light Rail is now being
constructed, in other words the last five sections from Lagunen to Flesland
Airport. Once the work is completed in 2016, Bergen Light Rail will stretch 20
kilometres between Bergen City Centre and Flesland Airport.
The project won by Veidekke is the largest contract in the third construction
phase and consists of 2.7 kilometres of double track. The stretch includes the
60-metre Steinsvik Bridge, three tunnels with a total length of around 1.9
kilometres (the 700-metre Folldals Tunnel, the 570-metre Steinsvik Tunnel and
the 600-metre Solhei Tunnel) as well as two stations at Råstølen and
Sandslivegen.
This is Veidekke's third contract for Bergen Light Rail. Besides a smaller six
week project in the second construction phase, in 2008 and 2009 Veidekke
constructed the section between Wergeland and Fantoft, which included two
tunnels and three stations, during Bergen Light Rail's first construction phase.
Veidekke will start work in August and the project is scheduled for completion
in October 2015.
