STOCKHOLM, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Skanska has, in a joint venture with Traylor Bros., Inc., and Walsh Construction, signed a contract with Gateway Development Commission (GDC) for the USD 1.29 billion construction of the Hudson Tunnel Project Package 1C: The Hudson River Tunnel Section in New York, NY, USA. Skanska will include its share of the contract worth USD 363M, about SEK 3.4 billion in the U.S. order bookings for the second quarter of 2026.
