Bashar K. Al Malek, project director at Saudi Railway Company (SAR), said a series of tenders for rail links connecting Jubail in Saudi Arabia’s eastern province will be awarded by the end of the year, according to Gulfnews.
Al Malek added that the three signal and telecommunications tenders for railways connecting Jubail with Damman, Ras Al Khair and Wa’ad Al Shamal should be issued immediately.
However, the top official did not state the value of the tenders, but said pre-qualification for tender bidding for the construction of the much talked about Riyadh-Jeddah railway link will start “between the first and second quarter of next year.”
The Riyadh-Jeddah railway link will be a double 958 kilometer track for passengers and freight.
