The Salcef Group played a central role in the development of this infrastructure, contributing with the executive design and construction of 82.2 km of track on the main line and 9.2 km in the depots. The line runs through various types of alignment: 25.4 km on viaducts, 8.6 km underground, and 7.1 km at-grade.

The Riyadh Metro network, comprising six lines that cover a total of 176 km, is one of the largest urban mobility infrastructure projects in the world. Line 3 connects the western part of the city, from Jeddah Road, to the eastern area near the Second Eastern Ring Road, passing through residential, commercial, and cultural districts.

Salcef Group’s experience in urban mobility projects extends beyond the Riyadh Metro. Over the years, the Group has contributed to the construction and modernization of metros and tramways in cities such as Rome, Turin, Palermo, Bucharest, and New York, establishing itself as a global leader in the sector. Particular emphasis is placed on maintenance, a crucial element in ensuring the safety and efficiency of state-of-the-art rail infrastructure.

The Riyadh Metro Line 3 is not just an engineering achievement but also a significant contribution to improving quality of life and urban sustainability, showcasing the value of modern, safe, and well-maintained infrastructure.
