Skanska has secured two new contracts in the US and Sweden: a rail link construction and a multi-sports facility development.
The company signed a contract with the Virginia Passenger Rail Authority to undertake the Long Bridge North project in Washington DC in partnership with FlatironDragados, part of the infrastructure company ACS Group.
Skanska will include its share of the contract, valued at $658m (Skr6.7bn), in the US order bookings for the second quarter of 2025.
The 1.6km rail link aims to replace the current two-track system and enhance a rail corridor with modern four-track rail bridges.
The project is designed to segregate freight and passenger traffic, with the refurbished eastern tracks primarily serving CSX Transportation (CSXT) freight rail, while the newly built western tracks cater mainly to passenger services provided by Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express (VRE).
Construction work will begin in July 2025 and be completed by December 2030.

By GlobalDataIn Sweden, Skanska has secured a contract with the city of Malmö for the construction of a new multi-sports building.
The contract, worth Skr1bn ($104.8m), will be included in the Swedish order bookings for the third quarter of 2025.
The new facility will encompass a full-size football pitch, a basketball hall, educational facilities for a sports-focused high school and office space.
The gross floor area will span an estimated 30,000m², with an emphasis on sustainability regarding environmental impact and energy consumption.
The collaboration between Skanska and Malmö City on the new arena began over a year ago, focusing on design and planning.
The recently signed agreement concerns the actual construction of the multi-sports facility, with construction scheduled to start in August 2025 and completion expected during 2028.
In July 2025, Skanska announced a contract worth 214m zlotys ($59.4m) with the Lower Silesian Road and Railway Authority for a bypass construction in Wrocław, Poland.
