Project summary

MEED reported a construction package covering approximately 65km of dualisation on the Dhariya–Afif corridor, reconstruction of existing road sections, junction connections and drainage structures. The route links the Riyadh and Qassim areas. The reported estimate is SAR1.1bn; it is not a confirmed award price.

What to watch

Check the latest Etimad record for reference 260739002995, including closing-date amendments, contractor requirements and any award notice. Confirm the construction-package boundaries before preparing quantities or partner proposals.

Evidence and access caveats

The project consultant’s own page describes a broader 106km design commission with four interchanges. That scope should not be substituted for the reported 65km construction package. Conflicting secondary deadlines prevent classification as a verified open tender.
