Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement published on January 31, 2020, when Nye Veier selected AF Gruppen for the conceptualization phase of regulation, design, and construction of the new E6 Roterud - Storhove. Nye Veier has now decided that AF Gruppen will carry out the detailed design and construction of this project, subject to the completion of the intention announcement according to public procurement regulations
The project entails a 23 km new four-lane highway from Roterud in Gjøvik to Storhove near Lillehammer. AF Gruppen, along with its consultant Norconsult, has been closely collaborating with Nye Veier since early 2020 in developing and regulating this road. The project has placed a strong focus on how environmental considerations can be combined with the realization of a safe road, especially when crossing the Lågen delta.
"It's rare for us as a general contractor to have the opportunity to influence a road project in its early stages, and it's a patient team that now looks forward to starting the construction phase. We have collaborated well with Nye Veier on several projects and look forward to continued cooperation in Innlandet. The project is important for many local and regional stakeholders and will provide great benefit and value for future users of this vital transport route," says Amund Tøftum, CEO of AF Gruppen.
The agreement for this project has a value of NOK 6,350 million excluding VAT. A fixed-price agreement for the execution phase is planned to be signed before March 1, 2025. A relatively quick construction start is planned, with completion in the summer of 2030
