Projects to improve road readiness for rains
Minister of Public Works and Housing Maher Abu al-Suman confirmed that the ministry has adopted a proactive approach to managing road infrastructure to address the impacts of climate change. This is achieved through developing sustainable engineering solutions based on field studies and risk assessments. The approach included analyzing and categorizing observations from previous seasons, implementing projects to maintain and improve the stormwater drainage network—such as constructing and expanding box culverts, strengthening water facilities, and designing solutions to reduce landslides and erosion. During this year, the ministry executed eight central projects costing 23.3 million dinars, in addition to maintaining stormwater drainage facilities across all governorates, while also enhancing the readiness of operations rooms, staff, and technicians. These measures aim to strengthen the resilience and robustness of the road network, reduce damages caused by heavy rains, and update the databases of the most at-risk locations to ensure the protection of lives and the safety of the network during future rainy seasons.
