The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) kicked off a new phase of Al-Abr Road expansion and rehabilitation project in the Marib governorate, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.
The new phase spans 40 kilometers, while the previous two phases totaled 90 kilometers. The project aims at boosting safe mobility along this vital road, improving infrastructure efficiency, and facilitating movement and commercial activity.
Al-Abr Road is a strategic route and an international link between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It also connects Yemeni cities and governorates.
SDRPY’s transport sector projects and initiatives focus on rehabilitating nearly 200 kilometers of roads across various governorates and upgrading airports to improve transport infrastructure readiness.
They also include the rehabilitation of land ports, linking Yemen with the region and the world, and boosting economic and commercial movement.
SDRPY has delivered 268 projects and initiatives across Yemen, supporting eight essential sectors: education, health, transport, energy, water, agriculture and fisheries, development programs, and government capacity building and support.
