Veidekke Entreprenør AS has signed a contract with the Norwegian Public Roads
Administration to build a new tunnel for classified road 13 from Vatne to
Skreppeneset in Strand municipality in Rogaland county. The value of the
contract is NOK 268 million excluding VAT.
The contract comprises a 3.5 kilometre two-lane tunnel and two open stretches

open stretches, pedestrian areas and bicycle paths.
The tunnel replaces the current classified road 13 through a landslide-prone
area.
