Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya awards landmark roadworks contract

Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya Investment Company (QIC) announced in a statement that, it has awarded a contract for roadworks that will serve the entertainment city being built just outside Riyadh.

The project has been awarded to Saudi based Construction Company, Shibh Al Jazira Contracting Company (SAJCO).

The project completion period is 14 months.

The roadworks project will connect traffic on the Dhurma Road with one of the first developments within Qiddiya, which will include offices, shops, restaurants, a petrol station and more.

Along with the asphalt roadways, the project includes a grade-separated interchange that spans Dhurma Road with a slender, aesthetically pleasing bridge structures. This part of the Qiddiya project is to be substantially complete in November 2020.

It will initially serve as a base camp for the project’s on-site staff, and eventually as a staging and services center for business and project-related visitors to Qiddiya.

This road project will provide quick and easy access for design, construction and other development teams to the Qiddiya site, enabling future infrastructure works such as utilities and landscaping.

“After many months of preparation and planning by our teams in Riyadh, we are ready to start laying the first network of roads for the project,” said Michael Reininger, Chief Executive Officer of QIC.

“We are honored to have been chosen as Qiddiya’s partner for this landmark project and our planners and site teams will bring all their resolve and their five decades of experience to bear, as we deliver this project in the months ahead.” Said Ziad Wehbe Sulaiman, the CEO of SAJCO.
