Skanska has signed a contract with Fornebubanen to build the new Skøyen metro station in Oslo.
The NOK1.7bn (€150m) contract includes the construction of a new underground metro station with two tracks and two access points, one on each side of Hoffsveien at Skøyen.
The project also involves construction of a station hall located about 45m below ground, concrete works, shafts, technical installations such as ventilation, electrical installations, elevators and escalators, outdoor areas, access buildings, and finalisation works in pre-excavated tunnels. Additional building works will be carried out at Madserud, Bestum and in the tunnel towards Majorstuen.
Skøyen is one of Oslo’s busiest public transport hubs. The new station will increase capacity and improve connectivity between subway, train, and bus, contributing to positive urban development in the Norwegian capital. The project will be carried out with a strong focus on energy efficiency and reduced climate impact.
Construction is scheduled to start in September this year and expected to be completed in 2029.
The Fornebu Line, which is approximately 7.7km long, will run between Majorstuen and Fornebu and have six new underground stations.
