Nordic company NYAB has entered an agreement with the Swedish Transport Administration to undertake the reconstruction and widening of a 15km stretch of the E4 road between Gumboda and Grimsmark in Västerbotten County, Sweden.

The Skr409m ($42.8m) project encompasses the rebuilding of the E4 into a 2+1 road configuration, spanning a width of 14m.

The road will feature a central barrier for enhancing safety. The construction of five bridges is also planned along this route.

Construction is scheduled to start this month, with an anticipated completion date in October 2027.

NYAB business area manager Infrastructure Mattias Broström said: "Västerbotten is an expansive region, and a safe and efficient infrastructure is important for residents, businesses, and industries across northern Sweden.

"We have strong experience from similar complex projects on heavily trafficked roads where traffic must continue to flow safely during construction. We also have an established and positive relationship with the Swedish Transport Administration and look forward to continuing to deliver safety and quality through cost-efficient production."

Headquartered in Luleå, Sweden, NYAB is a provider of engineering, construction, and maintenance services, focusing on infrastructure, industrial construction, and energy sectors.

The company operates primarily in Sweden, Finland, and Norway and has around 1,100 employees.

Last month, NYAB was awarded a Skr144m contract by the Swedish Transport Administration for the initial segment of the North Bothnia Line, with the project expected to conclude by the end of next year.

Furthermore, NYAB secured a Skr164m contract from Umeå Hamn for the redevelopment of the Northern Quay at the Port of Umeå in Sweden.

This project involves the construction of a new quay, the demolition of the existing structure, dredging works, and the creation of a ramp to facilitate loading and unloading operations.
