Skanska Partners with Local Authority on Major Construction Project
Skanska's Major Infrastructure Initiative
Skanska, in collaboration with Coffman Specialties, has secured a pivotal contract with the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority. This joint venture will focus on the groundbreaking Interstate 15 (I-15) Corridor Freight and Express Lanes Project. The total value of the contract amounts to USD 389M, and Skanska's portion is projected to be USD 336M, which is approximately SEK 3.5 billion.
Improving Traffic Flow and Connectivity
The ambitious project aims to introduce two new express lanes strategically located along the median of the busy San Bernardino section of I-15. Skanska's engineering team is tasked with constructing approximately 17.4 kilometers of additional express lanes complemented by price-managed toll facilities catering to traffic in both north and south directions.
Addressing Traffic Challenges
This project addresses significant congestion issues faced by commuters and trucks navigating the I-15. By the time this project reaches completion, it aims to enhance connectivity with the existing Riverside County I-15 express lanes, ultimately improving traffic flow and significantly reducing travel times for drivers.
Project Timeline and Expectations
Construction is expected to commence in January of a forthcoming year and is projected to wrap up by July of another target year. Skanska anticipates that the successful execution of this project will lead to substantial benefits for both the local community and the broader transportation network.
