Public Works Authority Leverages Summer to Accelerate Road Maintenance Completion

Watef Ramadan The Ministry of Public Works continues to implement its comprehensive road maintenance plan across the country’s various governorates, taking advantage of the summer period, which typically sees a relative decline in traffic density, to intensify field operations and complete as many maintenance projects as possible. This approach aims to improve the quality of the road network while minimizing the impact of maintenance activities on traffic flow.

The ministry clarified that carrying out maintenance work requires temporary closures on a number of highways, internal roads, and residential streets, according to a carefully planned schedule that considers traffic fluidity and aims to accelerate completion rates, while adhering to the highest standards of quality and safety in executing the works.

It emphasized that these closures are part of the periodic and developmental maintenance plan implemented by the ministry to enhance the infrastructure of the road network, noting that leveraging the summer period contributes to completing works more efficiently and in less time, given the lower volume of traffic compared to other periods of the year.

The ministry called on citizens and residents to cooperate with relevant authorities and comply with announced traffic guidelines and diversions, stressing the importance of following the ministry’s official accounts and the General Directorate of Traffic to stay informed about the locations and timings of temporary closures. This will help in selecting alternative routes and avoiding congestion until the maintenance works are completed.
