dijlahpoint - The Ministry of Construction and Housing has announced significant progress in the construction of bridges crossing the Tigris River, part of ongoing initiatives to alleviate traffic congestion. The remaining projects, which include the second Sarafiya and Jadriya bridges, Gaza Bridge, and the connection between the Suspension Bridge and the Two-Story Bridge, have seen tangible advancements on the ground. The Ministry attributed the delay in opening these projects beyond their scheduled dates to economic challenges, such as the late approval of federal budgets, lack of liquidity, and accumulated financial dues for previously completed works.
