By GlobalDataLundbyleden is a critical artery in Gothenburg, linking major highways such as the E6, E20, and E45 with Road 155 leading to the Port of Gothenburg and other key areas. The route currently faces heavy traffic and navigation challenges.
Construction is set to begin this month, with the project expected to be completed by the end of 2029 or early 2030.
The contract will be recorded in Skanska Sweden’s order bookings for the second quarter of 2025.
Skanska, a development and construction group operating in Europe and North America, has also recently secured other contracts in Sweden.
In April, Skanska signed a contract with Skellefteå Municipality to build the Karlgårdsbron bridge over the Skellefte River in Sweden. Valued at Skr380m, the project involves constructing a 400m-long suspension bridge, which is set to become the longest wooden bridge in the country.
Additionally, the company secured a Skr580m contract with Landskrona Municipality for a new football stadium and indoor swim centre, with construction starting in August this year and completion targeted for 2027 and 2028, respectively.
