NCC to expand E45 highway in the Göta älv valley for SEK 450 million

NCC Construction Sweden has been commissioned to expand the E45 between Tingberg and Glässnäs into a four-lane highway. This road section is included in the highway expansion program between Gothenburg and Trollhättan. The client is BanaVäg i Väst through the Swedish Transport Administration and the order is valued at approximately SEK 450 million.

The stretch of highway is 9.3 kilometers long and is located in the Alvhem - Kärra section. A four-lane highway, with corresponding traffic interchanges and bridge structures, will be built. NCC's assignment also includes building connecting service roads.

The phase is the eighth contract to be awarded to NCC in the expansion of the double-track railway and highway between Gothenburg and Trollhättan.

The work on the highway will commence immediately and the section is scheduled to be ready for traffic by the end of 2012.
