The development of roads in blocks 421 and 423 in Jidhafs has reached the halfway mark in the first phase of the project, according to Engineer Ahmed AlTajir, Assistant Undersecretary for Roads at the Ministry of Works. He mentioned this as part of the ministry's ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure across Bahrain's governorates.

AlTajir explained that the project will cater to 200 homes and properties, aiming to smooth out the movement of residents and visitors. It will also help to manage traffic flow and increase capacity. The work includes the removal of old asphalt, laying of backfill, and resurfacing with new asphalt, covering a total distance of 1.3 kilometres.

The project also involves the construction of a rainwater drainage network, the relocation of existing underground utilities, and the installation of new lighting poles in coordination with the Electricity and Water Authority (EWA). Additionally, traffic safety measures will be implemented, including the installation of traffic signs and the painting of road lines to ensure safety for all road users.

The project, with a value of 457,825 Bahraini dinars, was awarded by the Tender Board to JAHECON W.L.L.
