Skanska builds part of Lahti Southern Ring Road, Finland, for about EUR 161 M, about SEK 1.6 billion

The Lahti end of the new ring road to be implemented through an alliance contract is the technically most demanding and financially most significant section of the large project entity. It includes, among other things, three interchanges, two tunnels and 12 bridges. The aim of the Lahti Southern Ring Road project is to ensure the smooth and safe flow of traffic on highway 12 as well as to promote the development possibilities of businesses and efficient land use in the entire Lahti region.

Construction works have already begun, and the project is scheduled for opening for traffic in November 2020 and for completion in September 2021.
