<\/strong>Oman <\/strong>to build its longest dual carriageway:<\/strong> Oman\u2019s Transport, Communications, and Information Technology Ministry (MTCIT) has inked three agreements with three Omani-Saudi consortiums to continue the development of Sultan Said bin Taimour Road at an investment cost north of OMR 258 mn, the Oman News Agency<\/a> reports. The 400 km dual carriageway \u2014 set to be Oman\u2019s longest \u2014 will be built over 36 months.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s doing what? <\/strong>Each of the three consortiums will be responsible for about a third of the development, according to a statement<\/a>. Oman\u2019s Al Sarooj Construction Company<\/a> and Saudi firm Rawaf Contracting Company<\/a> will be responsible for a 132.5 km stretch of the road, Gulf Oman Company<\/a> and KSA\u2019s Koom Al<\/a>Fahd Trading<\/a>, Industry & Contracting<\/a> will take up another 132.5 km stretch, and a consortium comprising Omani construction firm Galfar Engineering and Contracting<\/a> and Saudi Al-Omair Trading & Contracting<\/a> will lead for the remaining 135 km section of the road. <\/p>\n

Expanding existing infrastructure:<\/strong> These three sections will complete the dualization of the Sultan Said bin Taimour Road from Adam to Haima, which already has 317 kilometers of dual carriageway. The move is expected to fortify road connectivity between Oman\u2019s northern and southern reaches.<\/p>\n

Familiar faces:<\/strong> MTCIT contracted<\/a> Galfar Engineering and Contracting last March for the dualization of the Izki-Nizwa carriageway project in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate. Al Rawaf Contracting Company signed on<\/a> to help build a logistics city in the Khuzam development for Saudi\u2019s National Housing Company earlier this year. Meanwhile, Al Sarooj Construction Company is overseeing the design and construction<\/a> of Oman\u2019s Diba-Lima-Khasab road project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
