The contract to build a new highway bypass and interchange in Stockholm has been awarded by the Swedish transport authority, 1096 Trafikverket. The work will be carried out by Züblin Scandinavia, the Swedish subsidiary of Ed Züblin, in partnership with 945 STRABAG subsidiary STRABAG Sverige. The work involves building a 950m long section of highway, including a complex interchange and is worth some €76 million. The works being carried out by Züblin in the district of Akalla north of Stockholm include sheeting and shoring measures for excavation works, a 120m long concrete tunnel being built using cut-and-cover, a 480m long cutting for the tunnel approach and roundabout.

The Stockholm Bypass in the northwest of the Swedish capital forms part of the E4 highway and will measure 21km long and feature six lanes. Completion of the €3.1 billion project is scheduled for 2025. Work on the Akalla stretch should be completed by 2021 and this will help reduce congestion in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm.
