The <\/strong>Roads General Authority<\/strong> opened the third phase of the Dhahran-Al Uqair-Salwa road<\/strong>, RGA said in a statement on X<\/a>. The 66 km road serves as a shortcut between the industrial city in Jubail and trade points on the Eastern, Al Arabiya<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> This is part of a SAR 199 mn project, 185 km project that aims to better connect the Eastern province with Qatar and the UAE, slashing the drive time to the border by as much as an hour, according to a separate statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next: <\/strong>RGA has been working to wrap up construction work on the fourth and last phase<\/a> of the project, a 13 km stretch. It has yet to provide a construction update or say when it expects work to finish. <\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT-<\/strong> The Kingdom has improved its road quality index by 10% y-o-y with a score of 5.7 in 2023, positioning us in fourth place among G20 nations, state news agency SPA<\/a> reported last week, citing a 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF) report.
