السيد رجائي: بعد أن اخترت الإجابة أقول لك: أن جميع الطرق التي يتحدث عنها النص في الجزء الشمالي للدولة الكويتية هي طرق عادية
(Roads)
وليست
(Highways)
كما ورد في اختيارك ، وأغلبها ذات مسار واحد مثل طريق الثفبة والكسارات والمقوع وأم نقا ولا تتعدى حدود الدولة إطلاقاً واختيارك هذا يلزم المقاول بطرق عبر حدود الدولة الكويتية
(Cross-border)
وهذا غير صحيح فكل الطرق تصل بين نقاط حدودية ضمن الأراضي الكويتية من العبدلي إلى السالمي والوفرة.
