(MENAFN) Bahrain’s transport ministry has hired five firms to undergo a study of a project to build a new rail bridge running alongside the King Fahd Causeway which links the country to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain News Agency reported.
The project will be used to link ports in both countries as part of the wider GCC railway scheme, and it will also link to the proposed causeway between Qatar and Bahrain that will have both road and rail routes, according to the official media.
From his side, Minister of Transport Kamal Ahmed said that that Bahrain was working with Saudi Arabia to develop systems and procedures for sending goods along the route, and for providing cargo and warehousing space to improve transport costs between the pair.
The GCC’s leaders have set a provisional date of 2018 for the rail link to operate.
