A consortium of Metrostav Norway and Bertelsen & Garpestad have won the main contract for a section of the E8 highway between Sorbotn and Laukslett. The Norwegian project includes 10km of new road, an 870m-long bridge across the Ram Fjord as well as several smaller bridges. Construction is expected to start at the beginning of next year and end in July 2026. The Metrostav Norway consortium's bid was chosen over those from NCC Norway and the consortium of Haehre and PNC. The E8 is a 1,410km European route that goes from Tromso, Norway to Turku, Finland and includes five tunnels - and is notable for difficult winter conditions. Tromso, with a population of just under 80,000, is Norway's largest northern city - and 355km north of the Arctic Circle. Turku, a city of 200,000, is located at the mouth of the Aura river in the south-west comer of Finland. |
