Design phase commences on Kuwait-KSA freight railway

Scheduled for completion in 2030, the new link will carry 3,300 passengers daily as well as high tonnage of commercial freight

Work is currently underway on the ‘initial design’ of the railway project linking Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, aimed at providing a direct link for transporting passengers and commercial goods.

The move comes following the go-ahead from The Project Management Committee of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, based on the outcomes of their financial, economic, technical, and social feasibility studies

International companies will shortly be invited to submit competitive tenders, pending the release of the project RFPs. The actual implementation of the project will begin in 2026.

Once operational, the railway is expected to carry 3,300 passengers daily with six round trips; the line will start from the Shaddadiyah area in Kuwait and extend to Riyadh.

The project is expected to be completed within four years, aligning with a series of Kuwaiti-Saudi projects aimed at economic integration and strengthening historical relations between the two countries.
