Skanska builds the bypass I/12 near Prague, Czechia, for CZK 3.8 billion, about SEK 1.7 billion
Skanska has signed a contract with National Highway Authority of the Czech Republic to build the bypass I/12 near Prague, Czechia. The contract is worth CZK 3.8 billion, about SEK 1.7 billion, which will be included in the order bookings for Europe for the second quarter of 2025.
The project “I/12 Běchovice-Úvaly” will create a safe and high-capacity 12.6 kilometer, four-lane road, including 23 bridges and six multi-level crossings.
This new bypass of the districts in the east of Prague will help the flow and safety by diverting transit traffic away from populated areas. Inside populated areas, this will reduce the burden on the environment and residents.
Work will start in July 2025 and the completion is scheduled for end of 2027.
