JEDDAH – Dr. Jabarah Bin Eid Al-Suraisiry, Minister of Transport, will inspect next week Al-Haramain train tracks and stations in Makkah, Madina, Jeddah and Rabegh. He will be accompanied by Eng. Abdul Aziz Al-Huqail, President of Saudi Railways Organization.
Sources told Okaz/Saudi Gazette that the Palestine Bridge would not be demolished, rather a 3,000-meter-long-track would be built to link Tahliya with the station located in the old airport. Next month, detours will be set up so that the process of demolition of Bariman Bridge would start, sources added.
Airbase Bridge has been completed and traffic movement in the upper part of the bridge would be possible, sources added.
About fifty eight real estate properties are being demolished in east and west of the Bariman Bridge to build a new seven-meter-high bridge which will be linked with the new 30-kilometer-long Jeddah-Makkah Highway being implemented by the Ministry of Transport.
