Bahrain Ministry of Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning has completed work on a major intersection at the entrance to Galali park coming from Raya Avenue at Muharraq Governorate.

The project is part of the ministry’s comprehensive plan aiming to improve the roads network in the kingdom, stated Sayyed Bader Alawi, the roads projects and maintenance director at the ministry. The BD197,539 ($520,278) project was awarded to Bahrain Motors.

"It aims to construct a new intersection with two lanes in each direction instead of only one lane in order to ease traffic movement and create an entrance point to the Bahrain International Airport parking area along Raya Avenue," he explained.

The scope of work included dredging and levelling works, removing the old asphalt layer and replacing it with a new one besides implementing a stormwater drainage network, installing a proper lighting network, implementing ground channels for future use and constructing pavements and signage.-TradeArabia News Service
