PETALING JAYA: Gamuda Bhd has opened the first phase of its Sitra Causeway Bridges in Sitra, Bahrain.
“The Umm Al Hassam junction and two western marine bridges of the four-lane dual carriageway were opened to traffic allowing motorists to travel from Sitra to Umm Al Hassam,” the company said in a statement.
The event was officiated by the Bahrain Minister of Works, Fahmi Ali Al Jowder.
Costing US$171mil (RM547mil), the Sitra Causeway Bridges project comprised the construction of bridges and causeway works together with grade separated interchanges at both ends of the causeway and Nabih Salleh Island, it said.
The project also consisted of massive underground infrastructure and relocation of utility works for the setting up of high and low voltage cables, sewage, gas and irrigation works.
The remaining eastern marine bridges that are in the direction towards Sitra from Umm Al Hassam are scheduled for completion and handover in December 2010.
