Projects
Verkís provided both preliminary and detailed design services for the new Skøltevegen Bridge across Hedalsfjorden in Norway, which opened to traffic in November 2025.
The scope also included tender documentation and the design of the connecting road infrastructure.
The 54-metre bridge consists of two 27-metre spans with a central pier founded on a natural islet in the lake. To optimise construction efficiency, the bridge was designed using precast, prestressed concrete girders combined with an in-situ cast deck. The solution minimised on-site construction activities, improved safety during construction, and reduced work over water.
At the recommendation of Verkís, the project utilised the latest generation of pre-approved bridge girders developed in accordance with Norwegian road authority requirements. The design provided a cost-effective, safe, and environmentally responsible solution while reducing material consumption and construction complexity compared with conventional bridge alternatives.
Verkís was responsible for bridge design, road design, tender documentation, and engineering support throughout the project.

A new bridge was required to improve transport connections across Hedalsfjorden while minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring efficient construction. The project demanded a durable, cost-effective solution that reduced work over water and complied with Norwegian bridge design standards.
Verkís provided both preliminary and detailed design for the 54-metre Skøltevegen Bridge, along with the connecting road infrastructure and tender documentation. The bridge was designed using precast, prestressed concrete girders with an in-situ cast deck, incorporating the latest generation of pre-approved bridge girders to optimize construction efficiency, safety and material use.
Completed in 2025, the Skøltevegen Bridge delivers a safe, durable and efficient transport link across Hedalsfjorden. The innovative structural solution reduced construction complexity, minimized environmental impacts and provided a cost-effective bridge that meets modern Norwegian infrastructure standards.
