€ 950.00

A thorough collection of contractual documentation for one of the major highway developments in Kuwait in the 1980s. Begun circa 1980 and scheduled to open in May 1985, the Fahaheel Expressway South remains a major route south of Kuwait City. The 1980s were an era of huge modernization in Kuwait, which had already made great strides supported by the booming oil economy beginning in the first half of the 20th century. Other highways in Kuwait City under contract in the same few years included the King Faisal Motorway, the Maghrib Motorway, and the Assafar Motorway, among others. The volumes present here were clearly contracts in use, with several notations, corrections, and notes in English regarding the details of phrasing, the timeline, and planning for bad weather days over the course of construction. The map shows the highway with interchanges stretching south along the Gulf.

Light wear to map, some annotations to volumes, altogether in excellent condition.
