Al Buraimi: The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology has commenced the implementation of a project to construct five new bridges on the Sohar–Buraimi Road, at a total cost exceeding RO 6 million.
The ministry stated that the project has reached an actual completion rate of 8 per cent so far, as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and improve the road network across the Sultanate of Oman.
The project has been awarded to Al Rimal for Comprehensive Technical Services in partnership with Bajan Sant Mapana. The implementation period is set at 18 months, with completion scheduled by the end of 2026 in line with the approved timeline.
