Infrastructure investment gains momentum in Europe
Implenia has won new contracts in Germany and Norway for three bridges and an inner-city motorway tunnel. The total contract volume amounts to around €350 million. The projects are in line with the Group's strategic focus on large, challenging mobility and energy supply projects.
Construction company Impleniahas secured major infrastructure projects in Germany and Norway, according to a press release. The contract package includes the new Peene Bridge in Wolgast, the replacement of the Main Bridge in Marktbreit, the first construction phase of the Riederwald Tunnel in Frankfurt am Main and the new Lågen Bridge in Norway.
For the new Peene Bridge in Wolgast, Implenia is leading a consortium with DSD Brückenbau, Victor Buyck Steel Construction and Stahl Technologie Niesky. The approximately 1.4-kilometre-long cable-stayed bridge will connect the A20 motorway with the island of Usedom and, with a clearance height of 42 metres and 70-metre-high pylons, will be one of the largest bridges of its kind in Europe. Construction work has been underway since December 2025 and is expected to continue until 2030.
Implenia is the technical leader in a consortium with Plauen Stahl Technologie for the replacement of the Marktbreit Main Bridge on the A7 motorway. The new bridge will be built as a steel composite box girder using the incremental launching method. It will be around 925 metres long and 31 metres wide. Construction is taking place while traffic continues to flow and will be completed by around 2033. The new contracts in Germany are rounded off by the construction of the new Riederwald Tunnel in Frankfurt am Main. In a consortium with Wayss & Freytag Ingenieurbau and Bickhardt Bau, Implenia is realising the centrepiece of the gap closure between two important motorway sections. The approximately 1.1-kilometre-long tunnel is being built using the open construction method. Work began in 2025 and will take around three years.
In Norway, Implenia is building the Lågen Bridge on the new E6 Roterud–Storhove motorway on behalf of AF Gruppen. The 552-metre-long, four-lane concrete box girder bridge spans the Lågen River north of Lillehammer. Strict environmental regulations to protect breeding birds, spawning grounds and biodiversity minimise the impact on the sensitive delta area.
