FCC, through its Austrian subsidiary ALPINE, has been awarded a €170 million contract in Oslo, Norway (1,318,000,000 Norwegian krones). The National Rail Administration, "Jernbaneverket" and the Norwegian Highway Administration, "Statens vegvesen" are planning the construction of a new section of motorway and railway to the north of Oslo running parallel to Lake Mjøsa. The main railway between Oslo and Trondheim will run along the east bank of the lake and will be part of the European E6 motorway, one of the primary roads connecting northern and southern Scandinavian countries.

The project consists of the construction of a section of railway and motorway between Langset and Brøhaug which is slated to be completed by 2016. The section of the E6 motorway will be 6.4 km long and the railway will be a dual track section measuring 5.2 km long. The motorway will run through the 630 m Korslund Tunnel and the section of railway will run through the 580 m Molykkja Tunnel to be built by ALPINE. The contract also calls for the construction of 8 km of bike paths and approximately 8 km of local roads.
