Road Projects Saudi Arabia the Saudi Ministry of Transport has set out an extensive road construction programme

e to address both capacity and safety issues and which includes sophisticated traffic management and ITS technologies to improve both traffic flow and safety. Netherlands based Royal HaskoningDHV has been awarded the task of identifying 30 traffic bottlenecks within Riyadh and also to find solutions that will improve traffic flow at these various locations. The upgrade to the King Abdullah Road for example has involved a capacity increase from 190,000 520,000 vehicles/day, by increasing the width of the route and improving the layout of the junctions. The construction work has been carried out in themiddle of the city and with traffic flowing alongside Riyadhs first ring road, the north-south King Fahd Road and the eastwest Makah Road have been the priority projects for improvements, with a focus on boosting safety and providing more on and off ramps. These are being improved through the construction of new tunnels and bridges at a series of intersections, while new traffic corridors will run across the city. For this four-phase programme, new exit and entry points will be built between service roads and the main carriageways along freeways, while the road designs are being standardised. There is also a move to separate parking areas from the carriageways as well as building new pedestrian ways. The first of the four infrastructure improvement phases planned for Riyadh is costing US$2.74 billion and is focussing on completing construction of Riyadhs 2nd and 3rd ring roads, including building 38 tunnels and 15 bridges. Some 100km of existing roads will be improved while 244km of new roads will be built.

Riyadh's population growth has been rapid and while its infrastructure has been added to almost continuously, the authorities have a huge programme of works planned to satisfy both current and future transport demands Costing a further $2.96 billion, the second phase of Riyadhs road transport upgrade will see improvements to 199km of existing links and building 71km of new roads. In all work will be completed on 11 major routes while 30 new tunnel and 50 bridges of various sizes will be constructed. For the $2.74 billion third phase, 58km of new roads will be built while 158km of existing links will be improved. This will see work being finished on 14 major roads as well as the construction of 40 tunnels and 29 bridges. Largest of all is the fourth phase, which is costing $4.9 billion and requires 118km of new roads as well as improvements to 322km of existing roads. Work is being carried out on 41 major routes while 46 new tunnels and 86 bridges are being constructed. One of the major portions of work has been the $186 million project to construct a tunnel under the six-lane King Fahd Flyover. This cut and cover work was carried out while the very busy road remained in use, making it very challenging for the firms involved, contractor Saudi Oger and designer Buro Happold. The flyover features 15 spans, constructed in segments using post-tensioning and the design called for the tunnel walls to be built within 100mm of its comparatively shallow foundations.

Innovative bridge design is a feature of many of Saudi Arabia's crossings Buro Happold developed a novel design for the contractor featuring a special load transfer structure alongside the bridge piers. Extensive modelling was required to ensure the movement of the rock would not cause problems for tunnel excavation. The cut and cover tunnel layout was excavated to a depth of 13m, with sections 180-700m long. The tunnel roof sections were precast while the reinforced concrete sections lie on pad foundations. As part of its plan to improve road safety and reduce journey times, the Ministry of Transport in

Saudi Arabia commissioned a construction supervision package for the Riyadh Second Ring Road South East Leg and several roads and junctions in Northern Riyadh. The project includes the construction of main roads, service roads, bridges, street lighting, drainage system, and the relocation of existing utilities. The centrepiece of this package is the Riyadh Second Ring Road South East Leg, which includes three main junctions and five link roads. The package also includes street lighting for the three main roads, the Riyadh - Taef Expressway, the Riyadh - Kharj Expressway and Thumama Road.

Excavations will carry many of the new road sections through Riyadh The scope of work for this includes overall project management services including project scheduling, contract administration, progress control and reporting, documentation control and technical support. It also covers quality control and quality assurance related to the construction of roads and bridges including signage and marking, intersection signalling, street lighting and storm water drainage. Within this there will also be a review of the programme of works the contractors will use to comply with the contract requirements and major planning standards and techniques. And the supervision package also has to evaluate the contractors detailed plan, covering aspects such as equipment mobilisation, material procurement and delivery of drawings. Another aspect will be a review of the contractors method statements, personnel deployment schedule and allocation of duties, as well as monitoring of construction progress including the subcontractors and suppliers.
