Larsen and Toubro, India’s largest engineering and Construction Company, has won an international order of worth Rs 1550 crores from the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Sultanate of Oman, for the construction of a road between Bidbid-Sur Section (Second Phase, First Part). The project is passed to transform the existed 76 km two lane road into three lane dual carriageway by widening it. The work also involves the construction of 10 arch type interchanges, 5 two-cell vehicular underpasses, 7 single-cell pedestrian underpasses and 15 kilometers of linked and service roads along the stretch.
