Swedish construction company Skanska has won a contract for the construction of the new phase of Stockholm metro in Sweden’s Nacka municipality.
Awarded by the Stockholm Regional Council, the contract is valued at around $135m (Skr1.2bn).
Skanska stated that the contract will be recorded in the Nordic order bookings for Q4 2021.
Under the project, the company will be responsible for the construction of a new metro tunnel, which will stretch nearly 1,200m.
