Skanska to build bridge in U.S. for USD 150 M, about SEK 915 M 

Skanska has secured a design-build contract for a bridge in Delaware in the U.S.
The contract amounts to USD 150 M, about SEK 915 M, which is included in order
bookings for the third quarter. The customer is the Delaware Department of
Transportation.

The project involves a 793-meter, triple-span cable-stayed bridge. The main span
is 290 meters in length, with a navigation clearance of about 14 meters. The
design of the bridge will be reminiscent of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge over
the Cooper River, which Skanska completed in South Carolina in 2005.

The new bridge will replace an existing bridge over the Indian River inlet in
North Bethany, Delaware on the Atlantic coast. This will increase traffic
capacity and safety, particularly for cyclists and pedestrians who will have a
separate lane.

The project starts in the autumn and is scheduled for completion in July 2011.

Skanska USA Civil is focused on the construction of traffic infrastructure and
facilities for power, water and water treatment. The business unit has about
4,500 employees and operations in the eastern US, Colorado and California.
Skanska USA Civil's revenues amounted to about SEK 10.8 billion in 2007.
