Peab rebuilds E22 in Lund
Peab has been commissioned to rebuild E22 Interchange Lund Södra and Road 108 between Staffanstorp and Lund. The customer is the Swedish Transport Administration and the contract is worth SEK 533 million.
More than 50,000 vehicles pass through E22 Interchange Lund Södra and Road 108 daily. This heavy traffic clogs the off ramps at rush hours, building lines out onto E22.
Interchange Lund Södra will be rebuilt with a new design containing roundabouts and cloverleaf off ramps, and all the bridges will be replaced with new ones. Road 108 between Staffanstorp and Lund will be broadened to 2+2 lanes with a guardrail in the middle and bridges for grade separated intersections of roads and bicycle and pedestrian paths. This creates a safer traffic situation with higher capacity to manage large volumes of vehicles, which facilitates work commuting and passability for mass transit and freight forwarding. E22 will be open for traffic with the exception of closures on some weekends.
The Swedish Transport Administration has made stringent environmental demands, among them reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption to at least 42 percent of current levels.
“We’re taking on a large and complex project here and it suits us. The challenge will be to disrupt traffic as little as possible. As part of our strategy to meet the climate high demands we’ll be using ECO-Betong (ECO-Concrete) and ECO-Asfalt in the project,” says Göran Wiking, Region Manager Peab.
“Better traffic safety and passability for mass transit, commuters and business transportation. These are gains that will be made when the Swedish Transport Administration rebuilds E22 Interchange Lund Södra and Road 108 between Staffanstorp and Lund,” says Katja Phelan, the Swedish Transport Administration’s Project Manager.
The project is a turnkey contract. Construction will begin in February 2024 and is expected to be completed in December 2026.
The project will be order registered in the fourth quarter 2023.
