YEMEN INVITES RAIL BIDS
Posted on 26 October 2009 by Railways Africa Editor
Yemen’s ministry of transport has invited bids for a contract to manage construction of the country’s first railway, which will link the nation with neighbouring countries in the Gulf. One line is to follow the coast from Yemen’s north-western border with Saudi Arabia to the eastern border with Oman. Two other lines are to run from the north-western population centres to Red Sea and Arabian ports.
The rail system is to connect with a 1,500km regional freight network to be built in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman – scheduled for completion by 2017.
