| Skanska secures highway and bridge contract in Georgia Skanska has been awarded the assignment to reconstruct a section of Interstate I-95 in Georgia, one of the longest freeways in the US. The contract is worth USD 199 million, approximately SEK 1.5 billion, which will be included in order bookings for the second quarter of 2006. The customer is the Georgia Department of Transportation and the project will be funded in part by federal transit dollars. The assignment pertains to a slightly more than nine-kilometer section of Interstate I-95 at Brunswick in southeastern Georgia, just north of Florida. The project includes a widening of the existing roadway from four to six lanes and the construction of four bridges. The bridge over Turtle River will be the longest, with a span of approximately 1,000 meters. Construction work will commence during the summer and the highway is scheduled for completion in October 2009. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
