Construction begins on coastal road shortening distance between Rakhyout and Dhalkout
Salalah: The Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology has commenced construction work on a new coastal dirt road linking the wilayats of Rakhyout and Dhalkout in Dhofar Governorate, spanning 20 kilometers. The project falls within the ministry's efforts to develop road networks and enhance logistical and tourism connectivity between the wilayats of Dhofar, in partnership with a local Omani company specializing in the field. Eng. Said Mohammed Tabook, Director General of Roads and Land Transport in Dhofar Governorate, stated to Oman News Agency (ONA) that the new road has been designed with a width of 12 meters to accommodate various types of vehicles and passes through rugged mountainous terrain. He noted that the project will facilitate travel between the two wilayats by reducing the distance from 60 kilometers to approximately 20 kilometers—a shortcut of around 40 kilometers. He added that the road passes through several prominent natural and tourist sites, including water springs, wadis, archaeological locations, and beaches, making it a key contributor to boosting tourism in the region, particularly during the Khareef (monsoon) season. Tabook affirmed that the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and Information Technology is currently studying the possibility of including the project in future road paving initiatives, in line with Dhofar's development aspirations and aimed at improving the quality of the governorate's road infrastructure.
