(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Indian engineering and construction firm Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced on Monday that its transportation and infrastructure business has bagged an order worth R15.5bn (approximately RO97mn) from Oman's Ministry of Transport and Communications for the construction of a road between Bidbid-Sur section (second phase, first part).
In a press release issued on Monday, L&T said that the scope of its works involved widening of the existing 76km two-lane road into a three-lane dual carriageway, construction of ten arch-type interchanges, five vehicular underpasses, seven single-cell pedestrian underpasses, and 15km of linked and service roads along the stretch.
