Spain’s 976 Acciona, working with Leonhard Nilsen & Sonner and Multiconsult, has picked up a €420 million contract for construction of 23km of Norway’s E6 motorway.
The work, between the towns of Ranheim and Vaernes, was awarded by state-owned motorway operator Nye Veier. It involves construction of a four-lane motorway section for vehicles travelling at a maximum speed of 110kph.
Works, which include several tunnels, is set to finish at the end of 2024 or start of 2025.
European route E6 runs nearly 3,100km from Trelleborg on the tip of neighbouring Sweden and into Norway, to run along its North Sea coast to the Arctic Circle and Nordkapp. The route ends in Kirkenes, close to the Russian border.
