Muscat: The Al Ansab - Al Jifnain Dualization Project undertaken by the Muscat Municipality is around 79% complete and is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
An amount of RO2.7 billion was allocated for the implementation of about 2,525 kilometers of main and internal roads across governorates.
The Al Ansab-Al Jifnain road is one of the key road projects aimed at easing the traffic flow, boosting development activities between the governorates of Muscat, Al Dakhiliyah, and North Al Sharqiyah, and reducing the traffic on the Al Rusayl-Muscat road.
The road will shorten distances and serve adjoining urban installations and quarters aligned to the road. The project involves the construction of a new road with three lanes in each direction, starting from the Falaj Al Sham area in the Wilayat of Baushar up to the intersection of Nizwa road in the Al Jafnain area in the Wilayat of Al Seeb, with a total length of 15 km.
It includes the construction of 4 intersections with bridges and tunnels, an intersection in the Al Awabi area, including the construction of a flyover with three lanes in each direction, with a signalized intersection underneath. Besides, an intersection will be set up before the cement factory, and the existing roundabout will be replaced by a bridge with traffic signals and a tunnel for the main road with three lanes in each direction.
An intersection will come up at the entrance to the Al Misfat Industrial area by constructing a bridge with three lanes in each direction and an intersection with traffic lights below.
Also under construction at the Al Jifnain area is an intersection with a three-lane flyover and traffic lights underneath.
