Today Veidekke Entreprenør has signed a contract with the NPRA Region north to build a new main road on classified road 80 to Bodø. The contract includes the stretch from Hundstadmoen to Bodøelv and is a part of the Bodø city package. The value of the contract is NOK 894 million excluding VAT.

Veidekke is to build a 3.5 kilometre four-lane main road with a 2.8 kilometre two-course tunnel in front of the Bodin army camp and open-air stretches at both ends. In addition there is a total of 700 metres of tributary roads and 14 concrete structures in the project, including four portals and one pedestrian culvert underneath the railroad at Hundstadmoen.

A total of 500,000 m3 of rock will be excavated from the tunnel in addition to 80,000m3 from the open-air stretches. Excavated rock will primarily be deposited in the sea at Langstranda.

Work will begin in February, and is slated for completion in June 2019. The contract is part of Veidekke's order backlog for Q4 2014.
