Qatar's road sector will witness a sharp increase in contract awards this year as the government initiates a major infrastructure upgrade of the country's road network.
Qatar, along with Saudi Arabia, has one of the GCC's busiest road markets to date, with contracts valued $1.8bn awarded so far.
The country's road market in 2012 has been propped by two major awards, the $640m deal awarded to UAE's Al Jaber Group for package 13 on the Doha Expressway and the $961m deal awarded to South Korea's Hyundai Engineering & Construction for the Lusail Expressway.
According to MEED, spending on future projects will significantly increase this year as more than 30 highway projects, valued at $27.5bn, are awarded.
