Bilfinger has won an order in the Norwegian city of Stavanger for the construction of the 5km long twin Eiganes Tunnel which will significantly reduce the volume of traffic in the city core. In the future, the European Route 39, one of the main traffic arteries on Norway’s southwest coast, will pass through the new tunnel.
The project has a total value of €230 million. It will be carried out by a JV in which Bilfinger holds a 60% stake and the Norwegian company Stangeland 40%.
