INA-  Baghdad

Media Office of the Prime Minister stated in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency INA that Prime Minister, Mr. Mohammed S. Al-Sudani, supervised the launch of two new projects aimed at relieving traffic congestion in the capital city of Baghdad via teleconference today. The first project involves the construction of two overpass bridges at the intersection of Aden and Sana’a squares on the Karkh side of Baghdad. The second project includes the construction of two overpass bridges at the intersection of Dorah-Sayyidiyah on the Baghdad-Hilla road.

These two projects are part of the government's program to develop roads and implement permanent and quick solutions to traffic congestion, with plans prepared by specialized authorities that take into account population expansion and traffic facilitation. The Prime Minister emphasized that the projects should be implemented within the required specifications and time limits. He also called on citizens to cooperate with the authorities to accomplish these strategic service projects.

Earlier this month, the Prime Minister had launched three other projects aimed at relieving traffic congestion in different parts of Baghdad, including an overpass bridge linking Palestine Street and Al-Dakhil Street, an overpass bridge linking Jamila area and Jihad Street, and an overpass bridge linking Quds intersection and Street 77.
