Sab' Biyar Connection: A 45-kilometre road section extending from Sab' Biyar Junction towards Al-Busayri, included in the rehabilitation works.

Together, these two sections form the overall scope of the road project, covering a reported total length of approximately 215 kilometres.

Project Cost and Implementation Period

The estimated project cost is USD 147 million, according to the contract details announced on 26 October 2026. The agreed implementation period is 900 days.

The contract covers the rehabilitation of the existing road, construction of its second route, and rehabilitation of the additional road connection. These works constitute the main components of the Al-Tanf–Al-Busayri road development project.

Route Connectivity and Transport Function

The Al-Tanf–Al-Busayri road and the Sab' Biyar connection form part of a transport corridor linking Iraq with Syrian ports on the Mediterranean Sea, including Banyas, Tartous and Latakia.

The route provides a road connection associated with the movement of goods and transit traffic between Iraq and the Syrian Mediterranean coast. Its connection with other road corridors, including the Damascus–Palmyra–Deir ez-Zor route, is also outlined in the published project coverage.
