SALALAH: Dhofar Municipality on Wednesday opened sections of the Al Ma’amoura-Razat dual carriageway project in the Wilayat of Salalah to traffic, as part of its ongoing efforts to develop the wilayat's road network.
Dr Abdullah bin Mohammed Baowain, Director-General of Projects and Technical Affairs at Dhofar Municipality, stated that the project, valued at more than RO 4 million, aims to upgrade the main road network in the eastern sector of Salalah city, enhance traffic efficiency and improve safety and flow along the corridor connecting Al Ma’amoura roundabout and Razat roundabout — in line with the urban and tourism expansion underway in the region.
He added that the project entails the construction of a dual carriageway along the existing route, extending approximately 5.5 kilometres, with two lanes in each direction, inner and outer shoulders, and a variable-width central median, all in accordance with approved specifications.
He noted that the works executed to date have included the opening of sections of the dual carriageway to traffic, while confirming that the project has exceeded the approved programme timeline, with completion now expected in September 2027. — ONA
