Skanska to build new highway bridge in Gothenburg for SEK 1.1 billion

Skanska has been contracted to build the Partihall interchange in Gothenburg.
The contract amount is SEK 1,125 M and is included in order bookings for the
second quarter. The customer is the Swedish Road Administration, Western Region.

The new connection comprises a 1,100-meter four-lane bridge. The project
includes on-ramps and connecting roads as well as landscaping and drainage
piping work.

The Partihall interchange will link E20 and Highway 45 south of the Göta River
and improve accessibility for goods traffic to the Partihall area in eastern
Gothenburg. It will also reduce traffic in the Tingstad tunnel.

Work on the site begins in the autumn and is scheduled to be completed in 2011.
The project is included in the regional infrastructure plan and is part of the
future Marieholm link with the new road tunnel under the Göta River.

Skanska Sweden focuses on the construction of residential, public and commercial
premises as well as the infrastructure throughout Sweden. The business unit has
about 11,000 employees and reported revenues in 2007 of approximately SEK 27
billion. In Sweden, Skanska is also active in the development of residential and
commercial properties.
