Saudi Arabia’s Neom City is shifting gears from words and videos to actions and tangible proof. The latest revelation came on X (Twitter), where images showed the progress made by Spanish companies on The Line’s high-speed railway called ‘The Spine.’ According to the post shared on social media, the firms have completed 25% of the work on one of the tunnels in The Spine, which is a cool 8.7 km long. This space will be utilized by high-speed trains, transport vehicles, and freight trains, serving as the link between The Line and an industrial port called Oxagon.
The series of images showcase work going on in full swing inside the tunnel, creating an otherworldly atmosphere complete with trucks, diggers, etc.
This sneak peek into the tunnel follows news of Neom officials whisking away elite bankers in swish private jets so they can witness the scale and development pace of this dream project. They even arranged for more than 100 construction companies to visit Neom City to understand the development taking place firsthand.
The post on X continues to show the world that the $1.5 trillion Neom City is not only talking the talk but also walking the walk, and briskly so! The development already employs 140,000 construction workers and expects that workforce to top 200,000 by next year.
The spectacular ‘The Spine’ is a marvel in itself, running on the 105-mile-long horizontal skyscraper, The Line, and traveling from one end to the other in just 20 minutes, with a speed of 317 mph.
