Written By Christine Wafeek

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) has awarded the contract for the extension of Riyadh Metro’s Red Line to the Webuild-led Consortium, which includes as well India’s L&T, Saudi Arabia’s NESMA and France’s ALSTOM.

The total value, according to reports, is close to approximately $2.8 billion.

The project covers the design and construction of an 8.4 km new driverless metro line, 1.3 km of which will be on viaduct and the remaining 7.1 km in tunnels. It also includes five stations – three of which are underground, as well as the signaling systems. A Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) will be used for the excavation of the tunnel section.
