New asphalt between Grimstad and Kristiansand

After loud protests against the deep track wear, work to repave the PPP section of the E18 between Grimstad and Kristiansand is now underway. NCC has been awarded the contract.

- "This is a relatively large asphalt job where many people are involved. Both our own asphalt workers from NCC Industry and subcontractors for milling and transportation. There is therefore a lot of hustle and bustle when we start in the evening," explains NCC.

The road is closed to traffic at 20:00 and the asphalt work continues through the night until the road opens at 06:00.

Night work does not hinder traffic as much and creates safer working conditions for the asphalt operators out on the road. At most, 20-25 people are involved in the work. The asphalt mass comes from NCC's asphalt factory at Rugsland.

NCC uses a durable asphalt - Viacogrip 16 - which will provide good road surfaces for many years to come.
