As part of its efforts to provide transport infrastructure and facilitate traffic movement in the governorates of the sultanate, the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology will complete the 317km Adam to Haima section of the Adam-Haima-Thumrait dual carriageway in June.

The dual carriageway is the longest road infrastructure project in the sultanate measuring 717.5km. It will facilitate economic activities and serve Duqm Economic Zone and onshore oil fields. It will also contribute to economic and tourism activities along the carriageway and in the Governorate of Dhofar Salem bin Hamad al Junaibi, director of the Road Transport Department in Al Wusta, informed that 280km of the Adam-Haima-Thumrait dual carriageway has already been opened to traffic. “The total length of this portion is 317km.
