Trafikksikkerhetsforbedringer på veistrekninger

Statens vegvesen is currently working on improving traffic safety on two stretches of road: Førland - Ådland in Stord municipality, Vestland county, and Liland - Våg in Tysvær, Rogaland county. The project spans a total distance of 8.2 kilometers and focuses on areas with a high daily traffic volume, at times reaching up to 5800 vehicles.

Nye og oppgraderte veirekkverk

The main task involves removing outdated guardrails along 4537 meters of road and replacing them with new guardrails mounted on steel posts. Additional guardrails will be installed in areas where none currently exist, totaling 8300 meters of new guardrails. The project also includes clearing and leveling the roadside terrain to improve visibility and prevent or mitigate hazards from objects like large rocks, stumps, and trees, which could cause abrupt stops from vehicles veering off the road.

Veisikring AS vant anbud

Three companies bid for the project, with Veisikring AS winning the contract for 8,379,870 Norwegian kroner. The work is planned to start this month and is scheduled for completion by November 30. During the construction, traffic management will be handled with both signaling and lights to ensure safety. This initiative contributes to Statens vegvesen's vision of zero fatalities and severe injuries on the roads, reinforcing the need for continuous focus on traffic safety efforts.
