Swedish contractor Skanska has entered into a contract with Fornebubanen to construct the new Skøyen metro station in Oslo, Norway.
The contract is valued at Nkr1.7bn ($167m).
This project involves building an underground metro station with two tracks and two access points.
These access points will be on each side of Hoffsveien at Skøyen.
The construction will include a station hall nearly 45m below ground, concrete works, shafts, and technical installations encompassing ventilation, electrical systems, elevators, and escalators.
Additionally, outdoor areas, access buildings, and finalisation works in pre-excavated tunnels are part of the plan.

By GlobalDataThe company plans to carry out additional construction activities at Madserud, Bestum, and in the tunnel towards Majorstuen.
Construction is scheduled to commence in September this year and be completed in 2029.
Skanska will register this contract in its Nordic order bookings for the second quarter (Q2) of 2025.
Skøyen is one of Oslo’s busiest public transport hubs, and the new station is expected to enhance capacity and improve connectivity between subway, train, and bus services.
The development comes on the heels of the company signing an expansion and renovation contract with Specialfastigheter Sverige, a Swedish state-owned property company, for the Österåker facility, located north of Stockholm, Sweden.
The contract for the facility is valued at approximately Skr1.3bn.
It will be registered in the company’s Swedish order bookings for Q2 2025.
Last week, Skanska also secured a contract worth £199m from pensions administrator Railpen to provide construction and mechanical and electrical engineering services for Botanic Place, a commercial office development in Cambridge, UK.
Botanic Place entails a total investment of £242m. It will feature two buildings offering roughly 31,000m² of workspace.
