The Fast Consortium, led by Spanish builder FCC, has announced plans to build two more stations to Line 4 of the Riyadh Metro Project in Saudi Arabia.
The consortium includes global majors Samsung (South Korea), Strukton (Netherlands), Alstom (France) and Freysinnet (Saudi Arabia).
The extension includes the construction of a 1.5-km-long viaduct and two elevated stations with direct access, via elevated footbridges, to terminals 1/2 and 3/4 of the international airport of the capital of Saudi Arabia, said a statement from FCC.
In this way, Line 4 of the Riyadh Metro will connect directly the future financial centre of the city (King Abdullah Financial District - KAFD) with the KKIA, which makes it a key corridor for the development of Riyadh urban transport, it stated.
The execution of the associated stations and infrastructures by the FAST Consortium will enable passengers to benefit from a direct transport link to the airport, it added.
"The Fast Consortium builds Lines 5 and 6 of the Riyadh Metro, in addition to the Line 4, which is a milestone for Spanish engineering as it is the most important infrastructure contract in history for a company in our country," said a company spokesman.
"Currently the progress of the project is on-going, reaching milestones as significant as the electrification of the depot for Lines 4 and 6, which recently allowed for the first test of the trains in automatic mode," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
