Two bridge projects for automobiles and trains linking mainland Kuwait and the island of Boubyan are 95 percent completed, Minister of Public Works and State Minister for Planning and Development, Dr. Fadhel Safar revealed Sunday.
Safar stressed that his ministry is keen on abiding by deadlines in completing the construction of major projects in Kuwait.
The bridges will link the island to the northern desert area of Al-Sabbiyah and will transport passengers and goods as part of the country's state development plan, he told reporters during an inspection tour of the project.
The ministry also plans to implement a series of ambitious projects on the island, including residential facilities, an airport and a railway station.
Moreover, Al-Sabbiyah will accommodate a "Silk City" as the country plans to expand economically as well as socially.
Meanwhile, the ministry's Assistant Undersecretary for Major Projects Adel Al-Turki revealed that a three-week deadline has been set for the auto highway bridge of the project.
An extension of the bridges will also link the planned Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port, while the railway part of the bridge will link up to a track running through the northern region right down to the southernmost border regions of the country.
Al-Turki said that there is an integrated plan to develop the island including a number of touristic projects, adding that the ministry is working on a restructure plan to be submitted to Kuwait Municipality for getting approval of the Municipal Council.
