NCC said that the expansion of railway in eastern Norway is currently under way and will have capacity to provide shorter travel times for one and a half million people, and more departures.
NCC Infrastructure business area manager Kenneth Nilsson said: “We have two ongoing railway projects together with Bane NOR and we look forward to further broadening our collaboration.
“The project will be conducted while the railway is still in operation, thus setting high demands for excellent coordination, planning and logistics which suits us well.”
