Khayber Road Extension Project, AlUla involves the widening of the existing roadway to improve traffic capacity and safety. The scope includes extension of the road width, earthworks, pavement layers, drainage adjustments, and associated road works in accordance with approved drawings and specifications.
The Khayber Road Extension Project in AlUla was successfully completed to enhance road capacity, improve traffic safety, and support smooth transportation along the corridor. The project involved widening the existing roadway in accordance with the approved alignment, drawings, and technical specifications.
The completed works included detailed surveying and setting out of the extended road limits, followed by clearing and grubbing of the widening areas. Existing utilities within the project limits were identified and protected, relocated, or adjusted as required in coordination with the concerned authorities.
All earthworks were completed, including excavation of unsuitable materials, cutting and filling to the required formation levels, and disposal of surplus materials at approved locations. Selected fill materials were supplied, placed, and compacted in layers to achieve the specified compaction requirements and ensure long-term structural stability.
Pavement works were fully executed, comprising preparation of the subgrade, placement of sub-base and base courses, and construction of asphalt layers in compliance with approved specifications. Tie-in works between the existing road and the newly widened sections were completed to ensure a smooth and continuous riding surface.
Drainage works were completed, including construction and modification of side drains, culverts, and slope protection systems to ensure effective stormwater management and prevent erosion. Road safety and traffic control elements such as pavement markings, traffic signs, guardrails, and reflectors were installed as per approved safety and traffic management plans.
All works were completed in accordance with approved method statements, quality control procedures, environmental requirements, and health and safety regulations. The project was handed over in satisfactory condition and is fully operational.
