NCC has signed nine asphalt contracts with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and several regions in Norway. The term of the contracts is one year, and the total order value is approximately SEK 380 million. The need for new paving and an upgrade of the Norwegian road network is great.

Earlier this year, NCC summarized that the accumulated maintenance debt for the Scandinavian road system is approximately EUR 7.8 billion and that the road network will deteriorate if nothing is done. As of January 1, 2024, under a new law in Norway, environmental criteria must carry a minimal weighting of 30% in public procurements. NCC has won many state and regional contracts during the year due to the prioritization of CO2 reduction in procurement requirements.

The contracts refer to the following assignments: Sør-Trøndelag, Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Nedre Buskerud, Asker and Bærum, Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Sogn and Fjordane, Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Nord in Rogaland, Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Dalane and Jæren, Rogaland County Authority, Ryfylke and Nord-Jæren, Rogaland County Authority, Vestland, Vestland County Authority, Fylkesveier Sunnmøre, Møre and Romsdal County Authority, Fylkesveier Nordmøre, Møre and Romsdal County Authority. The total order value of the contracts is approximately SEK 380 million and the orders will be registered in the NCC Industry business area in the second quarter of 2024.
