Work on Bahrain-Qatar causeway, railtrack to begin |
|
"Construction of the Bahrain-Qatar causeway project, including a railway track, will begin next January," said Board Chairman of the Bahrain Qatar Causeway Authority, Dr Hossein Al Hammadi.
Beginning of the 51-month-construction was revealed at a seminar held by Qatar Chamber of Commerce and IndustryQatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry
to clarify various aspects that highlight the project and the resulting pre- and post implementation investment opportunities.The causeway agreement, signed by Bahrain and Qatar on June 11, 2006, stipulated the construction of the causeway and its establishment and formation of an eight-member board, four from each country, for a three-year term. "The first board term, however, will last for 5 years, with alternated chairmanship between the two sides," Al Hammadi said. He emphasised the importance of the project, to be implemented by five entrepreneurs - including Qatar Diar and Vinci companies - as a fundamental dynamo for stronger bilateral and GCC cooperation, he remarked.
"Under the agreement, businessmen of Bahrain and Qatar and workers will be the first to avail of the environment-friendly project during and after execution," Al Hammadi said.

Well done. This is a constructive project that may ultimately link all GCC countries with roads and railways. Hope next step is a link to UAE thus overcoming the present political obstacles engulfing such realistic co-operations in the Gulf.
The future is for a pipeline carrying all the exported oil from the Gulf to the Sultanate of Oman Insahllah thus reducing dangerous pollution to all countries of the region! [Report Abuse | Email to a Friend | Reply to this Comment]
