Public Works Minister Dr. Noura Al-Mashaan inspected the Sabah Al-Nasser Bridge project to assess the readiness of final works ahead of the official opening of several roads and circular interchanges to traffic, in coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic, at 4 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday.
Al-Mashaan told KUNA that the phase scheduled for opening includes the service road parallel to the Sixth Ring Road in the direction of Musayel, and the southwestern circular interchange for traffic coming from Road 604 toward Kabd and leading to the Sixth Ring Road in the direction of Musayel. She added that the southeastern circular interchange for traffic coming from the Sixth Ring Road in the direction of Musayel and leading to Road 604 toward the Sabah Al-Nasser area will also be opened.
She emphasized that the opening of the new lanes completes the operational phases of the project, as part of the Public Works Ministry’s efforts to finalize vital projects, enhance the efficiency of the road network, and improve traffic flow. She noted that the ministry continues field monitoring of projects until their completion and entry into service, ensuring the readiness of works and compliance with technical specifications and safety requirements before opening them to road users.
She highlighted the importance of continued coordination between the ministry’s teams and relevant authorities to ensure traffic safety and maximize the benefits of the new lanes. She urged road users to comply with signage and traffic instructions during the opening period and to follow the General Directorate of Traffic for updates on any diversions or temporary closures in the project’s vicinity.
The opening of the new lanes completes the sections of the “Sabah Al-Nasser Bridge” project that were put into operation last August, as part of the project’s completion phases and efforts to improve traffic connectivity on the Sixth Ring Road and roads leading to surrounding residential areas.
