Riyadh Metro expected to be completed in 2019
The Arriyadh Development Authority (ADA) has awarded Finlands Kone a contract to supply 418 elevators and escalators for the Riyadh Metro Line 3.
Line 3 extends 41 kilometres across 22 stations.
The contract entails 262 escalators and 156 elevators, all of which will be equipped with Kones e-link monitoring systems.
