"Summer"... "Public Works" target to complete road maintenance

The Ministry of Public Works has continued implementing its comprehensive road maintenance plan across the country’s various governorates, taking advantage of the summer period, which typically sees a relative decrease in traffic density, to intensify field operations and complete as many maintenance projects as possible. This effort aims to improve the quality of the road network and minimize the impact of maintenance works on traffic flow.

The Ministry clarified that carrying out maintenance works 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 the works more efficiently and in less time, given the lower traffic volume compared to other periods of the year.

The Ministry called on citizens and residents to cooperate with the 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.
