Skanska has awarded a contract to build the new Skøyen metro station on the new Fornebu Line in Oslo. The contract is worth NOK 1.7 billion (EUR 148 million), about SEK 1.6 billion (EUR 140 million), which will be included in the Nordic order bookings for the second quarter of 2025.
The construction is scheduled to start in September 2025, with completion expected in 2029.
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 finalisation 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.
The Fornebu Line is a new metro underground extension, between Majorstuen and Fornebu. The metro line is approximately 7.7 km long, and has six new underground stations.
The new line will provide better public transport services to an area under development into housing and commercial areas adjacent to the city center. At Majorstuen, the track will connect into the existing metro network in Oslo. The metro project The Fornebu Line, was created in 2017. Three years later, in 2020, ground work started.
The investment cost of The Fornebu Line is estimated to NOK 16.2 billion (EUR 1.4 billion) in 2018. The Fornebu Line is financed 50% by the Government and through the Oslo Package 3 urban environment agreements and land ownership contribution.
