A proposal to create new entrances and exits on Road 1713 in Bukuwara, West Riffa, has received unanimous approval from the Southern Municipal Council.

Councilmember Ahmed Al Abdullah, representing the sixth constituency, championed the initiative, made possible by the recent removal of old, adjacent oil pipelines. The project now awaits the Minister of Municipalities’ approval following coordination with relevant authorities.

This project directly addresses the increasing traffic congestion affecting the area.

Councilmember Al Abdullah explained in a memorandum that adding new access points to Road 1713 — a key thoroughfare serving numerous shops and commercial establishments — will significantly improve traffic flow and accessibility for residents and road users, particularly during peak hours.

Infrastructure upgrade “The area’s rapid development, with a surge in new buildings and businesses, has dramatically increased traffic volume, making this infrastructure upgrade essential.

The removal of the old oil pipelines conveniently provides the necessary space for construction, further enhancing the project’s feasibility,” the memorandum stated.

“Moreover, this initiative aligns perfectly with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030, contributing to improved infrastructure, enhanced road networks, and a more aesthetically pleasing urban environment.

The improved traffic flow will undoubtedly contribute to a more modern and attractive Bukuwara West Riffa.”
