Agreement Signed for Construction of Al Mughsail Road, Interchange Bridge in Oman’s Salalah
Salalah: The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology today signed an agreement for the construction of a one-way road and interchange bridge of Al Mughsail in the Wilayat of Salalah at a total cost of more than RO 9 million.
The agreement was signed by Eng. Said Hamoud Al Ma’awali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, and Eng. Syed Azhar on behalf of AZ Engineers.
The project includes the setting up of a 630-metre concrete bridge on 20 columns and two side pillars at a height of 13 metres, with 6 decorative arches (35.9 into 45.9 metres).
This is in addition to parking spaces on both sides of the road and a streamlined, lighted walkway and a ground crossing giving access to tourist sites.
The project is in pursuance of efforts to ramp up the road network in Dhofar Governorate and improve the quality of road connection between the Wilayat of Salalah and the western wilayats of the governorate, said Eng. Said Hamoud Al Ma’awali.
The minister pointed out that the design of Al Mughsail Bridge is inspired by local architecture and took into account the weather conditions.
The project will ease the flow of traffic from Salalah to the western wilayats of Dhofar Governorate (Rakhyut and Dhalkut), in addition to the road leading to the Republic of Yemen.
The project is envisaged to boost the tourism sector, notably by giving better access to Al Marnif Cave, Al Mughsail Fountains and Al Mughsail Beach. – ONA
