Oman today_ Muscat Municipality will undertake a study to implement and improve safety measures on Al Jabal Street (Amerat-Bausher Mountain Road) by appointing a consultancy. The road has been challenging for motorists as it is very steep, especially on the Bausher side. One of the most common suggestions put forward by motorists and local citizens includes constructing a tunnel if it is feasible and possible, and constant police patrol on the section. The Greater Muscat Structural Plan has provisions to link the Wilayat of Al Amerat, which is separated from the rest of the city by mountains, through a road tunnel in addition to the existing mountain road. Ahmed al Dughaishi of the Plans to implement advanced safety measures on Amerat- Bausher Road said: “This tunnel will change the face of Al Amerat. This will also help link the suburb with Ruwi through a Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS). The road tunnel project will raise the value of land in Al Amerat with the availability of new prospects for the business and tourism sectors.
