Engineer Ahmed Sami Al Tajer, Assistant Undersecretary for Roads at the Ministry of Works, has announced the commencement of a key infrastructure project designed to enhance Bahrain’s road network.

The project involves constructing a new road connecting Al Hunainiya Street and Al Muaskar Street in the Southern Governorate.

The initiative, part of the government program’s objectives for 2023-2026, is designed to improve traffic flow and support the Kingdom’s development goals.

The new road will feature two lanes in each direction, spanning 3.4 kilometers.

It will connect Al Hunainiya Street in the north to Al Muaskar Street in the south, facilitating smoother traffic transitions between these major routes.

Scope

The scope of the project includes creating intersections, installing sidewalks, and establishing a rainwater drainage network.

Improvements will also be made to street lighting, traffic safety measures, and infrastructure for treated water to support afforestation and irrigation efforts.

The road is expected to alleviate congestion in the Al Hunainiya area, East Riffa, and nearby regions. It will benefit residents of the Al Hunainiya housing project and several local service institutions.

The Tender Board has awarded the project to Al-Dur Excavation and Construction Company
