Veidekke Anlegg director Neal Nordahl said: “At Veidekke we take pride in building projects that provide such indisputable added value to society. This is sustainable urban development, and we have a client who has proven to be open to good input both in terms of execution and the environment. We appreciate the confidence shown in us and look forward to finally starting the work.”

Construction of the tunnel will be carried out through a lateral section (side tunnel) at Lilleaker.

The contract involves crucial injection work given the tough geology and a crossing under the Lysaker river.
