By GlobalDataSödra Varvsbassängen will be graded up with the placement of 50,000m2 of excavated soil in three layers with an average depth of 4m to 6.5m.
Peab region manager Göran Wiking said: “A bridge to Varvsstaden will contribute to smoother communication for pedestrians, bicyclists and mass transit and thereby reduce car traffic to and from Västra Hamnen.
“It feels natural to take on work in another area of this new city borough where we’re already renovating and building. We’re preserving history in Varvsstaden and at the same time winding it into the future with great environmental care.”
This turnkey contract is expected to be finished in November 2024.
Peab will record this order in Q2 2022.
