Jahra Road Mainline Is Set To Open
The Ministry of Public Works announced that the elevated portion of the Jahra Road Development Project is set to open in its entirety Wednesday morning.
An opening ceremony will be held under the patronage of the Minister of Public Works, Engineer Ahmed Khaled Al-Jassar. Jassar is scheduled to visit the newly opened section of the road, which extends from the beginning of the road until the end of the bridge located near Kaifan and Shuwaikh Residential areas.
All the final works on the bridge have been recently completed, including all asphalt, planning and finishing works. With this newly opened section, which stretches for 5 km, the nearly 8 km Jahra Road mainline will now be fully open to the public.
Road users heading towards Kuwait City from Jahra can now use the bridge, from its starting point at the Andalus and Granada areas (before the UN roundabout) all the way to the end of the road at Kaifan (in front of Kuwait Sporting Club).
Drivers can also use the recently opened exit ramp located in front of the Ali Al-Sabah Military Academy.
As for drivers heading in the opposite direction towards Jahra, they can get onto the mainline from its starting point in front of the KUNA building, and get off at the end of the bridge right after the UN roundabout. Additional exit ramps are available in front of the Ministry of Education (before the Mohammed Bin Qassem intersection) and in front of the Social Care Centers (right before the UN roundabout).
This mega project involves the construction of 17.7 km of viaducts, including 8 km of mainline Jahra Road, 2.4 km of bridges on linked roads and 8.0 km of ramps. In addition it comprises the construction of a trough (located at the 2nd Ring Road intersection), 10 pedestrian bridges, and a number of service roads.
