RZD to bid for Bahrain and Qatar link

It is reported that Russian Railway RZD plans to participate in the tender for construction of 40 kilometer long bridge between Bahrain and Qatar in 2008, as RZD has passed prequalification and acquired the right to conducting civil works in Bahrain.

Other potentially interested rail projects that RZD could engage in are expected to be announced in Algeria, Iran, Libya, Northern Korea, Bulgaria and a number of other countries.
