Representatives of Arriyadh New Mobility (ANM), the consortium building Line 3 of which Salini Impregilo is a partner, were present to host the local authorities together with representatives of the other two consortia (FAST and BACS) that are also working on the underground.

The new underground system will be a modern, environmentally sustainable means of public transportation. It will help relieve the city’s heavy traffic. Riyadh has about six million inhabitants. Line 3 will be more than 40 km long and include 22 stations.

The project is approximately 11% complete.
