Kontrakt til Vasto Anlegg AS

Statens vegvesen has awarded a contract to the local contractor Vasto Anlegg AS for the construction of a new transit hub near Ålesund hospital. The contract sum is 31.8 million Norwegian kroner excluding VAT. With a competitive procurement process, five offers were received, all from local vendors, and Vasto Anlegg's proposal was the most economically advantageous.

Bypakken reduserer reisetid

The new transit hub is part of the Bypakke Ålesund, a collective effort focused on reducing travel time between the city center and Moa. The project includes reconstructing the entire intersection and creating new bus pockets along Borgundvegen, eliminating the need for buses to go down to the hospital. A covered and universally accessible passage from the bus stop to the hospital will be built, integrating with a new parking garage planned by the health enterprise, which includes elevator and stair access.

Byggestart i mai/juni

The construction is set to commence at the end of May or beginning of June, with the first stage of the project to be completed by December 20, 2023. During the construction, the entrance to the hospital will remain open. The project will also include the creation of single light-regulation crosswalks, pedestrian crossings at the main intersection, sidewalks on both sides of the road, and dedicated bicycle lanes that will run behind the new bus pockets.
