Galfar, one of the largest engineering, contracting and construction companies in Oman, has announced that it has secured a major construction works contract for Part Four of the Sultan Said bin Taimour Road Dualisation Project.

The project, a major road linking key governorates of Oman, is being implemented in partnership with Al Omaier Trading and Contracting Company, said Galfar. 

This strategic project aims to complete the dual carriageway from the Wilayat of Adam in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate to the Wilayat of Thumrait in Dhofar Governorate, building on the 317 km already developed to the north.  Once completed in 2028, the route from Muscat to Dhofar will become the longest dualised road in the sultanate, it added.

Meanwhile, Oman’s Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology has announced that work has started on Parts Three, Four and Five f dual carriageway of Sultan Said bin Taimour Road, spanning approximately 400 km.

 The project, being built at a cost of over RO258 million ($669 million), will be implemented in three phases.
