STOCKHOLM, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Skanska, in a joint venture with Stacy Witbeck, has signed a contract with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) for the East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project in Van Nuys, California, USA. Skanska will include its share of the USD 1.9 billion contract worth USD 957M, about SEK 8.9 billion, in the US order bookings for the third quarter of 2026.

The project scope includes the construction of a 10.8 kilometers (6.7-mile), at-grade light rail line along Van Nuys Boulevard, a 10.5 hectare (26-acre) Rail and Maintenance Facility, the development of 11 new stations including shade structures and utility improvements.

The East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project expands Metro's transit system, connecting high-density neighborhoods to the broader Los Angeles County rail network and wider region. The light rail will operate along heavily trafficked Van Nuys Boulevard and connect to Metro's existing G-Line bus route, bringing enhanced public transportation options to communities who were previously lacking.

Work has begun and the project is expected to be completed in December 2031.
