Veidekke: Road maintenance contracts worth NOK 1.5 billion

Veidekke has secured four new contracts for the operation and maintenance of national and county roads. In addition, options to extend two ongoing contracts have been exercised. The total contract value amounts to NOK 1.5 billion excluding VAT.

“This year’s tender rounds have now been completed, and we are very satisfied with the outcome. The new contracts are all in areas where we have been responsible in recent years, so we know them well and have a solid understanding of what lies ahead. We are also pleased that the contract periods for two of our ongoing contracts, which were approaching completion, have been extended by another year. This indicates that others share our satisfaction, and we sincerely appreciate the continued trust,” says Kjell Otto Bragstad, Director of Veidekke Drift og vedlikehold.

New contracts from September 1:

Following these awards, Veidekke will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of approximately 13,000 kilometres of national and county roads, including pedestrian and cycle paths. Annual revenue from this part of Veidekke’s operations amounts to around NOK 2 billion excluding VAT.

– Together with our clients and local partners, we will do our utmost to ensure that road users experience safe and reliable driving conditions – both summer and winter – across our 24 contract areas, ranging from Finnmark in the north to Agder in the south, Bragstad concludes.

The maintance contracts include routine operational tasks and minor maintenance work on the road network to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow, as well as to help maintain the desired service life of the roads. Key activities include snow ploughing, sanding and salting, tunnel and sign cleaning, operation of green areas, ditch cleaning, ensuring proper drainage, road and rest area cleaning, and emergency preparedness for accidents and extreme weather conditions.

The contracts and exercised options are included in Veidekke’s order backlog in the second quarter of 2026.
