Expo 2030 Riyadh has awarded two major utilities and infrastructure contracts to local contractor Al Yamama Company, the company said in a social media post.

The latest awards are aimed at accelerating on-site delivery and enabling the next phase of development, the post on 'X' said.

According to the project announcement, the two packages include infrastructure works covering internal roads, smart mobility systems and core infrastructure.

No contract values or timelines were disclosed.

The awards indicate growing execution momentum at the Expo site as Riyadh ramps up construction activity for the event.
