Hill International (NYSE:HIL), delivering the infrastructure
of change, announced today it has been awarded a contract by the
Rua Al-Madinah Holding Co. to provide project management support
for the advance roadways package of the Madinah Central Area (MCA)
development—a 1.4-square kilometer project that will ultimately
deliver greatly expanded retail and hospitality assets in the
Municipality of Madinah. The development of MCA is part of the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 program.
The advance infrastructure package will enable
the Al Amida road to serve as an alternative to the current ring
road by expanding the roadway to six lanes and upgrading the Ali
Bin Abi Taleb traffic tunnel and connect Al Amida to the King
Faisal ring road. Work includes removal of existing pavement,
guardrail, barriers, trees, curbs, excavation, construction of
roadway, relocation of service reservation, paving, drainage,
sewerage, potable, street lighting, telecom and power networks,
pavement marking and striping, installation of new guardrail and
barriers, extension of existing utility ducts, backfilling and
compaction, traffic detouring and management, and other
construction-related work. The project is scheduled for completion
in 2023.
“This initial package of works is critical to
the long-term success of the MCA development,” said Abdo Kardous,
Regional President for the Middle East of Hill International. “Our
team will help make certain the new roadway realizes Rua
Al-Madinah’s objectives and provides improved access and mobility
to the Central Area.”
“Infrastructure projects and programs are
ramping up across the Middle East and around the world,” says Hill
Chief Executive Officer Raouf S. Ghali. “This first package of the
MCA development is a testament to the Kingdom’s determination to
realize the goals of Vision 2030 as well as evidence of the
gathering strength of the region’s economic recovery following the
pandemic-induced slowdown.”
