The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) has awarded a contract to Mesta for construction of a tunnel in the town of Orsta.
Construction work on the US$16.3M contract is scheduled to start this month and be completed by the middle of 2010.
The tunnel will be 1,920m long and built on a peninsula in Storfjorden. The cross-section profile will be a standard T5.5 horseshoe shape.
Separately, the contractor has been given another contract by NPRA to install lighting in the Myrkdalen tunnel on Highway 13.
