The first phase of THE LINE at NEOM in Saudi Arabia is on course to complete in 2030, according to a senior executive.  In a progress video released by NEOM, Chief Development Officer Denis Hickey said the Saudi megadevelopment is committed to hit ambitious development targets.

THE LINE will be 170km long and 500m high, with a footprint of just 34sq km, and residents will have access to all daily essentials within a five-minute walk, in addition to high-speed rail – with an end-to-end transit of 20 minutes.

“We’ve done a lot of the foundation work, literally and figuratively. I think the construction of THE LINE is unique in terms of its industrialisation and its modulised approach”. “The first phase of THE LINE will be complete by 2030. We are committed. - NEOM, Chief Development Officer Denis Hickey

The video, posted to NEOM’s official YouTube account shows construction progress at THE LINE and shares more details about the project.
