Line 3, also known as the Orange line, is 41.5km long with an 11km underground section. It will have 22 stations.

Salini Impreglio leads the ArRiyadh New Mobility (ANM) consortium, which was awarded a €3.72 bn contract in October 2013. It is one of three involved in the $US 23bn, six-line Riyadh Metro project which will have a total network length of 176km.
