One of Bahrain’s busiest and most congested highways is finally set for a major upgrade, with plans approved to expand a critical bottleneck section of the National Charter Highway.
The project, at an estimated cost of BD500,000, will see the addition of a new lane under the Alba Bridge, effectively doubling the road’s traffic-handling capacity from 800 vehicles per hour to 1,600 vehicles per hour, said a report in our sister publication, Gulf Daily News.
