Note on the Internal Roads Project in the Wilayat of Ibra
Within the framework of the royal directives of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said on the completion of a network of modern roads in accordance with the latest international standards to connect all parts of the Sultanate with one another, the Ministry of Transportation has completed its study for the construction of an internal road network to connect the towns and villages of the Wilayat of Ibra with one another and with the Muscat–Sur main road.
In establishing this network, care has been taken to ensure that it is in line with the urban planning of the Ministry of Housing, while taking into account the avoidance of expropriation as much as possible.
The construction of these roads requires the expropriation of the real estate and land obstructing its path, in accordance with the masterplan approved by the Ministry of Housing, and the issuance of a royal decree declaring the public benefit status of this project.
