Southern company wins Evenes tender

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has awarded Johs. J Syltern AS the task of building the E10 Evenes airport junction in Northern Norway. Work will start just over the summer.

The contractor from Åfjord in Trøndelag, Mid Norway, won the contract in competition with northern Norwegian Leonhard Nilsen and Sons AS (LNS) and Hæhre AS in Southern Norway.

"Syltern came out best on all criteria in the competition", says project manager Geir Hartz Jørgensen.

In addition to price, the bidders have competed on the quality criteria of organization, offering key personnel and describing the implementation of the project.

The junction with the exit to the airport on today's E10 is dangerous and therefore has reduced speed. Among other things, those who walk and cycle must use the shoulder of the road on the E10 to and from the hotel and business area east of the airport.

The upcoming development will provide new and safe access for everyone going to and from Evenes Airport, hotels and the commercial area. Through traffic on the E10 will be lifted up and away from the intersection on its own bridge.

The airport and the commercial areas to the east will have a common access further north on the current E10 with a 100-meter exit lane in each direction.

Syltern AS has undertaken to do the job for NOK 285.2 million. Construction is expected to start in the summer of 2026 and the new intersection will be completed in December 2028.
