No near solution for traffic jams: Official
Sunday, July 24, 2016
Interior Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic Affairs Major General Abdullah Al-Muhanna does not see a solution in the near future for traffic jams on Kuwait roads, especially since cars are on the increase while roads remain the same.
Local Arabic daily Al Rai newspaper quoted him as saying that he believes that overcoming the traffic jam issue needs modification projects on the side, main and ring roads, starting with Fahaheel, King Abdulaziz, King Fahd, Maghreb, Riyadh and Ghazali expressways, in addition to the First Ring Road all the way to Seventh Ring Road. Without the modifications and corrections on these roads, the congestions will not be solved, Al Rai newspaper added.
The bridge network being built now will partially contribute to reducing congestion.
