The Ministry of Transport has started work on the 27-km Rusayl-Bidbid road expansion project.

The project will include the construction of four road lanes in each direction, new overbridges, tunnels, pedestrian bridges, and rainwater drainage canal.

To be built at a cost of RO 86 million, the project will be completed in 30 months and help ease traffic as the rush vehicular movement on average is 3,000 per hour. Following completion, it will be able to handle around 8,030 cars vehicles per hour.”
This road will be designed according to all traffic safety requirements with vehicles able to operate at a speed of 120km/hour.

Also, two new intersections will be added including one in Ghala to keep pace with urban development and population growth in these areas. Whereas, the new Ghala intersection will connect with the Ansab-Jifnain road. The intersections to be expanded are the ones at Fanja, Bidbid, near the Ministry of Defence, and the one at Sharqiyah Expressway.
