Skanska has booked an additional order for its ongoing project with Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) to rebuild the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk in New York City, USA. Skanska will include this latest incremental installment, USD 63 M, about SEK 530 M, in the order bookings for Skanska USA Building for the fourth quarter of 2015.

The team has successfully completed the first two phases of the project, which re-opened to the public on Memorial Day weekend and Fourth of July weekend of this year, respectively.

NYCEDC is managing the project on behalf of New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

The project is expected to be completed in spring 2017.
