LEMMINKÄINEN CORPORATION
19.4.2007, 15.00                                                           

                                                                 
Lemminkäinen Corporation and the Finnish Road Administration have signed a      
service agreement whereby the Company assumes responsibility for the condition  
of the main roads in the Häme, Uusimaa and Turku road districts of Finland. The 
agreement comes into force immediately and within its scope are Highway 3       
between Helsinki and Tampere, Highway 9 between Lieto and Tuulos, and Highway 10
between Aura and Toijala. The main roads for which Lemminkäinen is responsible  
total just under 1,200 lane kilometres.                                         

As the service provider Lemminkäinen will monitor the condition of the highway  
pavements and road structures, and make independent decisions on their repair   
works. In addition to asphalt paving, the contract includes road markings, the  
upkeep of gravel verges, and the repair of cracks and frost damage. Winter      
maintenance, such as snowploughing, remains outside the scope of the contract.  

This service agreement is the first of its kind in Finland. The new contract    
model provides the service provider with opportunities to combine design,       
construction and upkeep in innovative ways.                                     

- This contract model enables us to exploit our own expertise more effectively, 
and to take the whole pavement life cycle into account systematically, says the 
Head of Lemminkäinen's Paving and Mineral Aggregates Division, Mr. Henrik       
Eklund.                                                                         

The contract is worth approx. EUR 40 million and will end in 2018.
