Saudi’s mighty innovative projects | GulfNews.com:

"The infrastructure in Saudi Arabia is rapidly becoming sophisticated and more forward looking. Initiatives include a novel metro project in the capital city of Riyadh plus emphasis on renewable energy sources. Other measures entail privatisation of the national airliner and allowing licensed foreign carriers the right to operate in the domestic market.
Undoubtedly, some projects like that of a novel metro system in Riyadh are ostensibly overdue. Still, late is better than never.
Recently, three foreign-led consortia won separate design and construct contracts for the Riyadh Metro Project at the prohibitive cost of US$22.5 billion. Work on the 176-km project is due to start in early 2014, with completion in four years time."
