The E6 Berkåk-Vindåsliene project seeks to improve traffic safety and capacity on the present E6 road south of Trondheim so that the road system promotes regional growth and development.

Detailed engineering will begin soon, and construction work will commence early next year. The road is expected to be finished in mid-2027.

Nye Veier managing director Anette Aanesland said: “The aim of the new E6, which is a central national thoroughfare, is to increase traffic safety, improve the flow of traffic and stimulate growth and development in a large region.

“We are now looking forward to starting the work together with Skanska and Syltern. This section is an important part of the development of the E6 south of Trondheim.”
