Sandvika, 2 June 2025 (OSE: NORCO): Bergen Municipality has awarded Norconsult
the assignment of planning and zoning the Bergen Light Rail (Bybanen) from the
city centre to Sandviken. The project will commence shortly and encompasses all
disciplines required to deliver a zoning plan by June 2026.

Bybanen is an integral component of Bergen's urban landscape, serving as the
main artery of the city's public transport system. Its development is aimed at
enhancing the urban environment and providing a safe, efficient and sustainable
mode of transportation.

Norconsult's assignment includes the technical feasibility study and zoning plan
for Bybanen from the city centre to Sandviken. Additionally, a technical
preliminary project and regulatory plan for the main cycle solution on the same
route will be developed. These plans are part of the regulatory plan for Bybanen
to Åsane (phase 5).

"We are very pleased that Bergen Municipality has selected Norconsult to develop
the new zoning plan for the stretch from the city centre to Sandviken. With our
solid expertise in key areas such as rail technology, road and traffic
solutions, urban planning, and structural engineering, we are confident that
Bergen Municipality will receive a plan that facilitates the realisation of
Bybanen to Åsane as a safe, efficient, and sustainable means of transport," says
Vegard Jacobsen, Executive Vice President, Norway Regions, at Norconsult.

The project is complex with many planning challenges, numerous interfaces, and
technical difficulties. This requires specialised expertise and Norconsult has
put together an experienced team with extensive experience from previous Bybanen
projects for Bergen Municipality.

The estimated value of the contract is NOK 60 million.
