NCC to construct Landborgen link in Helsingborg

In partnership with the City of Helsingborg, NCC is to construct the Landborgen link, a six-story underground car and bicycle garage as well as pedestrian and bicycle ways, which will join the city districts above the approximately 20-meter-high Landborgen cliff with the city center. The total order value is an estimated SEK 350 million.

“The Landborgen link is one piece of the puzzle to develop the city center. It is a thoroughfare that will level out height differences in Helsingborg and make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to get around. It will also make it easier for cyclists and motorists to park and reach central areas of Helsingborg without having to travel through the city,” says Marie Holmqvist, Project Manager at the City of Helsingborg’s Urban Planning Administration.

The project will be carried out in partnering form in two phases. The first phase will commence immediately, where NCC in partnership with the City of Helsingborg will study technical systems and materials, prepare the construction design, as well as a detailed time schedule and construction target price for the assignment. The second, construction phase is scheduled to begin in autumn 2018. The Landborgen link is scheduled for completion in 2020.

“Building a parking garage for 600 cars and a similar number of bicycles inside Landborgen is an exciting and technically challenging project, which is highly suitable for NCC’s organization. Together with the City of Helsingborg, we will build a modern and accessible parking garage and a safe and secure thoroughfare with escalators and elevators up and down from Landborgen for pedestrians and cyclists,” says Nils Bjelm, Division Manager of NCC Infrastructure.

The order value is about SEK 350 million, and is expected to be registered during the fourth quarter of 2018 in the NCC Infrastructure business area.

About the Author: Carrie Brunner

Carrie Brunner grew up in a small town in northern New Brunswick. She studied chemistry in college, graduated, and married her husband one month later. They were then blessed with two baby boys within the first four years of marriage. Having babies gave their family a desire to return to the old paths – to nourish their family with traditional, homegrown foods; rid their home of toxic chemicals and petroleum products; and give their boys a chance to know a simple, sustainable way of life. They are currently building a homestead from scratch on two little acres in central Texas. There’s a lot to be done to become somewhat self-sufficient, but they are debt-free and get to spend their days living this simple, good life together with their five young children. Carrie writes mostly on provincial stories.
