The scope of work includes construction of interchanges and bridges. The new expressway, which links Muscat to the Sohar Port and industrial area and to the UAE border, was opened to traffic. The project was developed with an investment of, making it one of the biggest civil engineering and infrastructure projects in the Middle East. The road has four 3.75-m-wide lanes in each direction with 3-m-wide external asphalt shoulders and 2-m wide internal shoulders. The ministry set about its work by dividing the Al Batinah Expressway construction initially into six packages. The Batinah Expressway boasts 23 interchanges, 17 flyovers and 12 ground passes in addition to 25 bridges.
