"It is very boring but necessary as we do not reach the profitability we want," says Jacob Birkeland, Skanska's press manager.

Skanska has informed the personnel concerned.

- Of course, the projects that are in progress will be completed and they will continue for most of 2020. These are both smaller and larger projects, says Jacob Birkeland.

"Many local players"

Why do you not get profit from operations in Norrbotten?

- It is a competitive market with many local players. The organizational change only affects the district of Norrbotten, other districts in the region are doing well, says Jacob Birkeland.

What planned projects will you not implement because of the closure?

- We choose not to mention who it is. But as I said, we are completing what we have signed.
