Sohar – Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT) has officially commenced the construction of five new bridges along the vital Suhar–Buraimi road, representing a total investment exceeding RO 6 mn. This strategic infrastructure project is designed to enhance road safety and ensure a smoother flow of traffic on one of the Sultanate’s most critical national arteries.

Current progress on the project has reached 80 per cent. The Suhar–Buraimi route serves as a primary link between the border crossings in the Buraimi Governorate and the rest of Oman’s governorates, making it a cornerstone for regional trade and economic activity.

Spanning a scheduled duration of 18 months, the project is slated for completion by the end of 2026. This initiative aligns with the Ministry’s broader strategy to maintain a safe and integrated transport network, ultimately supporting comprehensive national development and strengthening the logistical capabilities of the Sultanate.
