Tekfen Construction had signed a preliminary protocol with the
State of Qatar last summer, after which the final agreement has also

Signed by Mohammed bin Abdullah al Rumaihi, Minister of Mu-
nicipality and Environment of Qatar, and Murat Gigin, Chairman of
the Board of Tekfen Holding, under the auspices of Ahmet Arslan,
Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Turkey, the prelimi-
nary protocol indicates that the Al Khor Expressway will be 34 km
long, with ten lanes in both directions. Involving numerous junc-
tions, viaducts, over- and under-passes, the project will be one of the
most prestigious in Qatar.
The total cost of the project is 7.6 billion Qatari Riyals (approx.
2.1 billion US Dollars), doubling Tekfen Construction’s backlog and
constituting the biggest one-off contract in Tekfen Construction’s
60-year history.
