Skanska's New Project Enhances Traffic Management
Skanska has successfully secured a crucial contract with the National Highway Authority to construct the I/12 bypass, a pivotal infrastructure project aimed at improving traffic flow and safety near Prague. Valued at CZK 3.8 billion, approximately SEK 1.7 billion, this project will be reflected in the company’s order bookings for the upcoming quarter.
