Finnmap Infra, together with Skanska, has won a contract for the Mankala–Jokue section of Highway 12. Finnmap Infra is responsible for the project’s design as part of a design-and-build contract commissioned by the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, with Skanska as the main contractor. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2027, and the contract is expected to be completed in autumn 2029.
Located in Iitti, the Mankala–Jokue section is part of the development of Highway 12 between Lahti and Kouvola. Improvements to the approximately eight-kilometre road section will enhance road safety and traffic flow and support freight transport for businesses in the region.
Finnmap Infra is also currently working with Skanska on the design of the first section of the project, Jokue–Tillola. The new Mankala–Jokue project continues the collaboration on the same road corridor and draws on the expertise gained in the earlier design work.
“We are very pleased to continue our work on developing Highway 12 together with Skanska. The project offers an opportunity to draw on our extensive infrastructure expertise and contribute to the long-term development of the transport network,” says Kaarle Korhonen, Managing Director of Finnmap Infra.
