Kuwait-based Combined Group Contracting (CGC), a leading player in the Gulf’s contracting sector, has announced that its key subsidiaries have secured contracts worth $338.3 million from across the GCC region.

The first contract worth AED859.9 million ($234.1 million) for road construction works in the UAE was snapped up by its local unit – CGC Company Emirates – from the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.

As part of the contract, the company will upgrade the Emirates Road from Al Bade’a Intersection to E55 Intersection. The scope of work, to be completed in two years, involves the construction of new bridges and intersections, as well as the improvement of existing ones.
