Saudi Arabia has awarded the building of a five-kilometer-long tunnel in the city of Madinah to a Chinese construction firm, to be built at the cost of $974 million.

The project also involves the construction of a pedestrian bridge.

Al-Amida road will serve as an alternative to the current ring road, through expanding the roadway to six lanes, upgrading the Ali Bin Abi Taleb traffic tunnel and connecting Al-Amida to the King Faisal ring road.

Canada’s WSP and US-based Parsons are among consultants working on the project while Rua al-Madinah Holding is the client.

Saudi Arabia also witnessed a tunneling project in NEOM, in June, with contracts being awarded for the bored tunneling sections of The Line.
