"Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have assigned five firms to study the construction of a railway bridge parallel to the King Fahd Causeway.
In a statement to the Bahrain News Agency, Bahrain’s Minister of Transport Kamal bin Ahmed said the project will be linked to internal networks in both Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and then connect to the projected causeway which will link Bahrain with Qatar.
The rail project study is part of the 2,177km GCC rail link, which will run from Kuwait to Dammam, to Bahrain via the causeway, and thence to Qatar across a new causeway to be established between the two countries. There is to be an additional branch line between Dammam and Qatar via Salwa. While the main line from Dammam will continue to the UAE through the Batha crossing point heading to Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and then to Oman via Sohar, terminating at Muscat."
