Delma Engineering said that the joint venture has been confirmed as the lowest bidder on the highways improvement contract.
This project, expected to take 30 months for completion, would see a large section of E11 highway widened to dual four-lane carriageways.
The E11 was built as a dual two-lane highway from Mafraq to Al Ghweifat and approximately 327,000m long. The work would also see the construction of three dumb-bell interchanges along the route.
The joint venture won the bid ahead of ten other companies.
