Muscat: The Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology (MTCIT) has signed an agreement for the Raysut-Al Mughsail Road dualisation project valued at RO35 million.
To improve connectivity between tourist destinations in Dhofar Governorate, the project that extends for 33 kilometers and will take 30 months to complete will include bridges and overpasses, as well as animal crossings and all other necessary safety measures.
It will be integrated with the Al Mughsail Road Bridge in the Wilayat of Salalah, which includes the construction of a 630-meter-long concrete bridge supported by 20 columns and two side pillars with a height of 13 meters. The bridge will feature six arches - two large arches with a height of 45.9 meters and four arches with a height of 35.9 meters.
The project will improve traffic flow from the Wilayat of Salalah to the western wilayats of Dhofar Governorate (Rakhyut and Dhalkut), in addition to its significance as an international route leading to the border crossing with the Republic of Yemen.
The bridge will also boost tourism to nearby Al-Marnif Cave, the Al-Mughsayl blowholes, and the Al-Mughsayl beachfront.
The project also passes through Salalah Port and the Free Zone
