The project was procured by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA), which receives funding from the Norwegian state. It consists of the design, build, finance, operation and maintenance (DBFOM) of a 9.4km four-lane road link on the Rv555 in Norway’s Vestland County. Following financial close in March 2022, the road is currently in early-stage construction. The PPP will deliver lower transport costs, better accessibility and increased traffic safety for the municipalities of Bergen and Øygarden.
