Saudi government has developed a comprehensive plan for expanding its rail network, which includes building a railway line between the cities of Abha and Jizan, said a report.

One of the key projects unde this plan is the land bridge, which will be offered to the private sector who will build and operate it, reported Arab News, citing a senior minister.

"Although projects like building a railway in the southern region require a lengthier construction period, they are part of the The Ministry of Transport’s main plan," remarked Nabil Al Amoudi.

“The ministry is working on two approaches: The first includes the privatization of processes and maintenance of the current railways, and the second includes building new rails,” he added.
