In the course of the spring Veidekke has entered into four new contracts for
road maintenance of county roads in inner Agder and southern Sunnmøre. The
contracts have a duration of five years plus options for extension. The total
contracts value is NOK 605 million excluding VAT.

"We're pleased with the results of this year's tender round and look forward to
taking over responsibility in the new contracts in September. In partnership
with our commissioning parties we will do what we can to ensure that road users
experience good and safe driving conditions both in summer and winter on our 24
contracts from Finnmark in the north to Agder in the south," says Kjell Otto
Bragstad, director of Veidekke Drift og Vedlikehold.

The new contracts enter into force on 1 September. At that point Veidekke will
have responsibility for road maintenance of approximately 11,000 kilometres of
national and county roads with annual revenues totalling around NOK 1.8 billion
excluding VAT.

"We have won the new contracts after good processes with thorough risk analyses,
which will ensure good implementation capacity and healthy finances in the
activities. In addition, there are currently ongoing negotiations on exercising
options to extend several of our existing contracts," Bragstad concludes.

The road maintenance contracts include routine operational tasks and minor
maintenance tasks on the road network (including pedestrian and cycle paths) to
ensure safe and efficient traffic and maintain the roads to ensure the desired
service life. In practice this means clearing, gritting, salting, tunnels and
sign cleaning, maintaining landscape areas, clearing ditches and drains,
cleaning roads and rest areas and emergency preparedness in the event of
accidents and extreme weather conditions.
