Project name: KS-2 Tangenvika Railway Bridge, Norway

Contractor: Implenia AG; kellergeoteknikk

Location: Oslo, Norway

Background:

Norwegian authorities are improving rail connections between Oslo and other cities by means of the Intercity Project. One of the elements of the so-called Intercity Project is the development of double tracks for high-speed trains on the Oslo-Lillehammer line. This together with a substantial reduction in the length of track. This reduction requires a 3 km long tunnel and the longest railway bridge in the country. Near the village of Espa on the banks of lake Mjøsa, one of the largest lakes in Norway, the project plans a kilometre-long bridge across the bay at the peninsula of Tangenvika.
