| NCC to remodel express road by Jönköping NCC has been commissioned by the Swedish Transport Administration to remodel Route 26/47 between Månseryd and Mullsjö, northeast of Jönköping, into a 2+1 express road with median barrier. The project is being carried out to improve safety and accessibility on the road. The order is worth SEK 349 million. The section of road between Månseryd and Mullsjö, measuring a total distance of 17 km, is not fitted with a median barrier, is narrow and has a poor grade and profile standard. During the winter months, the steep inclines sometime cause transport problems for primarily heavy traffic. The road will be remodeled to feature a 2+1 layout with a median barrier and a speed limit of 100 km/h. A local road will also be built alongside the entire remodeled section for pedestrians and cyclists, and slow-moving traffic. It will also be possible to use the local road for diversions when necessary. The start of construction is planned for spring 2017 and the road will be fully completed in autumn 2019. write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Construction News :: home page |
