STOCKHOLM, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Skanska has signed a contract with Fornebubanen to build the new Skøyen metro station in Oslo, Norway. The contract is worth NOK 1.7 billion, about SEK 1.6 billion, which will be included in the Nordic order bookings for the second quarter of 2025.

The contract includes the construction of a new underground metro station with two tracks and two access points, one on each side of Hoffsveien at Skøyen. The project also involves construction of a station hall located about 45 meters below ground, concrete works, shafts, technical installations such as ventilation, electrical installations, elevators and escalators, outdoor areas, access buildings, and finalization works in pre-excavated tunnels. Additional building works will be carried out at Madserud, Bestum and in the tunnel towards Majorstuen.

Skøyen is one of Oslo's busiest public transport hubs. The new station will increase capacity and improve connectivity between subway, train, and bus, contributing to positive urban development in the Norwegian capital. The project will be carried out with a strong focus on energy efficiency and reduced climate impact.

Construction is scheduled to start in September 2025, with completion expected in 2029.
