Multiconsult

Multiconsult is the main designer on the road project Fv. 353 Rugtvedt - Surtebogen

Multiconsult (Oslo: MULTI) has been selected as main designer on the road

project fv.353 Rugtvedt – Surtebogen in the Bamble municipality within Vestfold

og Telemark county, Norway. Hæhre Entreprenør AS has been nominated as the

preferred contractor.

The new road will serve as the primary link between Bamble and Skien on the west

side of Frierfjorden, playing a crucial role in both national and regional

transportation within a significant industrial area. The new road is extremely

important because the existing road is old and unsafe, with a high number of

accidents. By enhancing traffic flow and safety, the project aims to contribute

significantly to the improvement of the local neighbourhood environment.

Multiconsult will be responsible for the detailed design, overseeing the

construction of a 3.9-kilometre road that includes five bridges, three culverts,

three road junctions, and a retaining wall, complete with pedestrian and cycle

paths. Additionally, the project incorporates essential geotechnical measures

and upgrades to local and private roads. Notably, a new water supply pipeline

for Bamble municipality is also part of this comprehensive initiative.

Construction is planned to commence in 2023, with completion anticipated by

2026. The total value of the construction contract, including detailed design,

amounts to approximately NOK 400 million.

The end client for this project is Vestfold og Telemark county. The nomination

of the contract is subject to standstill period (NO: karenstid) which expires on

23 October 2023.
