Redevelopment of the Südschnellweg Hannover: Contract Awarded for New Tunnel
The motorway “Südschnellweg” running in the south of Hannover (Germany) will be modernised from 2023. In December 2022, the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport awarded the contract for the first major section of the Südschnellweg modernisation on federal road B 3 to a consortium of Porr, Stump-Franki Spezialtiefbau and Hagedorn. The contract is worth around 400 million euros. The project includes the construction of a new inner-city road tunnel. The construction time is expected to be about seven years; the federal government carries the costs.
