Skanska has signed a road-construction contract in North Carolina in the U.S. The contract value totals USD 43 M, or about SEK 315 M, and will be included in third-quarter order bookings. The customer is the U.S. Marine’s regional facility unit, Mid-Atlantic Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC).
The project comprises a 3.5-kilometer, two to four-lane entry road to the Camp LeJeune marine base between Wilmington and Morehead City in North Carolina. The assignment also includes a 600-meter concrete pile-supported bridge. The bridge will span a protected area of Northeast Creek and therefore carried out with particular environmental consideration.
Work will commence in the fall and the first phases are scheduled for completion by early 2011. The entire project is scheduled for final completion in January 2013.
NAVFAC has previously appointed Skanska for a number of marine construction assignments, including port, basin and pier constructions in Virginia.
