In order to upgrading two road tunnels in Oslo, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration has granted Veidekke a contract.
With NKr2.1bn (£156m) value, excluding VAT, this contract includes design and build collaboration contract for the Hammersborg and Vaterland tunnels on Ring 1.
While the Vaterland Tunnel with 370m length is due to be upgraded, the 380m-long Hammersborg Tunnel will be rebuilt, extended, reinforced and lowered because of security requirements for government buildings in Oslo’s new Government Quarter.
The date of constrcuting both tunnels were 1989, while extensive maintenance is required, including the repair of concrete structures and the roadway. Additionally, general infrastructure such as lighting, cables, pipes, wires, and signage will be replaced in both tunnels.
While commencing the construction process soon, summer 2027 is determined date for completion.
