SOLNA (dpa-AFX) - Skanska AB (SKSBF.PK, SKAb.ST) said Wednesday that it has secured a $1 billion, or 9.3 billion Swedish Kroner, design-build contract from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or MBTA, for the North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement and related rail upgrades across Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville.
The Swedish construction and development company said that the construction will begin in May 2026, with completion expected by fall 2032.

On the Stockholm Exchange, SKAb.ST ended Tuesday's trading at 252.60 Swedish Kroner, up 4.00 Kroner or 1.6 percent.
