DUBAI, NON-US, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, March 8, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Bridges & Highways Bahrain & Saudi Arabia Conference is taking place from 19 - 20 April 2016 in Manama, Bahrain, to enable private and government stakeholders to discuss the development of new transport infrastructure projects and the rehabilitation of existing bridges and highways in both kingdoms.

The Saudi Arabian government allocated US$168 billion towards the transport infrastructure sector last year to fund 2,000 kilometres of new road and railway projects in Jubail, Yanbu and Ras Al Khair. Bahrain will spend more than US$2.5 billion on major road and bridge developments in 2016 that will be funded by the US$10 billion GCC Marshall Plan. Key projects in focus include the Riyadh Metro, Dammam Rail, Haramain Rail, Makkah Railway and Saudi-Bahrain Causeway. To drive development in this sector, governments and private stakeholders across the region will meet at the conference to review solutions to help them develop and maintain state-of-the-art bridge structures.
