Turnkey contractor ACCIONA is design and constructing of 23 kilometres of four-lane highway in collaboration with Norwegian state-owned Nye Veier

Design and construction of a 23-kilometer four-lane highway

 

The project involved the design and construction of a 23-kilometer four-lane highway along the existing E6 route. It also included the construction of three tunnels parallel to the current ones. The project features eight bridges and three grade-separated interchanges. This new infrastructure will expand the road from two to four lanes, improving mobility in the northern part of Trøndelag county.

 

 

 

Construction began in 2020 and was initially planned for completion in 2027. Until the reopening, ACCIONA was also responsible for traffic management and the construction of temporary and alternative routes to maintain traffic flow between Ranheim and Værnes.

 

ACCIONA completed its work in 2023.
