Minister of Public Works Dr. Noura Al-Mashaan has confirmed that intensive road maintenance in Mangaf is progressing as part of Kuwait’s strategic plan for radical highway and internal road improvements. The repair works are first focusing on the most heavily deteriorated areas before extending to locations with lesser damage. Ministry teams are directly supervising the implementation to ensure quality and compliance with international standards.

A committee has been formed to evaluate and select qualified engineers. These professionals will oversee the works and guarantee adherence to international specifications. Dr. Al-Mashaan emphasized the importance of infrastructure investment in enhancing economic development and quality of life, while supporting sustainable urban growth.

Engineer Abdullah Al-Kandari, Supervisor of Contract No. 15 for Ahmadi’s first zone, stated that ministry teams are now in Mangaf Block 3 to monitor ongoing maintenance. Tasks include:

• Laying an 8 cm layer of Type 1 asphalt
• Cleaning the sewage system in Dhaher
• Major maintenance on Roads No. 250 and 240
• Asphalt laying in Egaila Block 1

Engineer Mohammed Al-Buraiki confirmed completion of infrastructure repair and cleaning in Egaila, Fahad Al-Ahmad, and Mangaf. Asphalt work is complete in Egaila Blocks 3 and 4 and on Jaber Al-Ali Main Road No. 102. Major road work will soon begin in Mangaf Block 4 and Fahad Al-Ahmad Block 1.

These maintenance efforts contribute to Kuwait’s vision for smart cities and sustainable infrastructure. They improve road safety, reduce future costs, and enhance urban mobility.
