The Eastern Province Municipality has allocated SR 1.1 billion in the 2013 budget for various new infrastructure projects designed to modernize the Dammam metropolitan area and branch municipalities and to improve quality of life of citizens.
The allocation covers 62 projects including asphalting of roads and rainwater drainage schemes.
“The projects involve the construction of sidewalks, the development of residential neighborhoods, the improvement of streets, the construction of pedestrian bridges and more utility services,” Mayor of the Eastern Province, Daifallah Al-Otaiby, said in a statement reported by the Saudi Press Agency.
“The SR 231 million worth of major projects to be implemented in metropolitan areas include asphalting of roads, construction of sidewalks and installation of street lights,” Al-Otaiby said.
While an allocation of SR 300 million will be used to restructure drainage pumping stations, SR 250 million will be spent to construct overpasses, underpasses and intersections, he said.
