Works Minister Ibrahim Al Hawaj yesterday conducted a field visit to review progress on the flyover project linking Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Causeway to Avenue 105 in Busaiteen, as part of the ministry’s efforts to enhance traffic flow and improve infrastructure between the Muharraq and Capital Governorates.
The visit was attended by Under-Secretary Shaikh Mishaal bin Mohammed Al Khalifa and Under-Secretary for Roads Ahmed Al Tajer.
Mr Al Hawaj was updated on the work on the project, which includes the construction of a two-lane flyover in each direction to carry traffic from Manama via the Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Causeway to Muharraq Ring Road through Avenue 105 in Busaiteen, as well as traffic from the Muharraq Ring Road towards Muharraq city.
The minister said the project is part of wider efforts to develop the main road network between Manama and Muharraq, and that the new bridge will improve traffic flow between the two governorates, particularly following the opening of the Muharraq Ring Road in late 2024, which significantly enhanced the connection across major routes.
He added that the project will also ease movement between Manama, Muharraq, Busaiteen, Al Sayah and Diyar Al Muharraq, while reducing congestion at the junction of the Shaikh Isa Bin Salman Causeway and Al Ghous Street.
Mr Al Hawaj noted that temporary traffic diversions are currently in place and urged road users to follow the signs and diversions to ensure their safety and that of on-site workers.
