Veidekke is currently working on the Lysaker-Vækerø section of Fornebu, which it was awarded in April last year.
The new 8.2km Fornebu Line will connect the centre of Fornebu peninsula to the Norwegian capital at Majorstuen. It will have six stations: Skøyen, Vækerø, Lysaker, Telenor Arena, Flytårnet and Fornebu Senter.
Cowi, in joint venture with Multiconsult, is designing the line, which is Oslo’s largest transport project in over 20 years.
