Works: Improving road readiness amid climate change
The Ministry of Public Works and Housing has affirmed that in recent years, it has adopted a proactive approach to managing road infrastructure to address the impacts of climate change. Preparations for the upcoming rainy season began immediately after the previous season, through data analysis and the classification of observations from locations prone to water pooling and landslides, with the aim of implementing maintenance projects and building more resilient and sustainable infrastructure. These measures included the construction and expansion of box culverts and pipelines, the rehabilitation of water facilities, the construction of retaining walls, and the lining of wadis (valley channels), all aimed at reducing landslide recurrence and improving rainwater drainage. During 2026, eight central projects were executed at a cost of 23.3 million dinars, in addition to the maintenance of over 5,400 culverts and pipelines, along with enhanced readiness of operations rooms and technical staff. These efforts are designed to protect lives and ensure the sustainability of the road network, with continuous updates to databases and hydrological studies to prevent extreme weather events and mitigate future damages.
