Metro Riyadh L1

Metro Riyadh L1

The Bechtel-led consortium, is responsible for the US$10bn contract for the design, construction, train cars, signalling, electrification and integration of Lines 1 and 2 — two of the most challenging lines on the Riyadh Metro project.

The work includes 39 stations, two of which are key interchange stations: Olaya Station, situated in the centre of Riyadh at the intersection of Lines 1 and 2, and King Abdullah Financial District Station, located slightly to the north on Line 1.

In total, seven tunnel boring machines will be deployed by the Bechtel-led team to dig and construct more than 35 km of tunnels beneath the capital city.
