Alawi added that the project is part of the ministrys master plan of protecting assets and roads to maintain a technical level that is required to perform maintenance before any decrease in structural and functional performance for the road. The road is built with globally approved engineering performance to avoid further deterioration of the roads condition revamping the road again with very high costs which will have construction time that is doubled.The Roads Projects and Maintenance Director said that the revamping efforts done will help extend the roads lifespan to its planned age and will help the road avoid further deterioration in its functional performance.

The ministry thanks all citizens for their cooperation and adherence to the traffic signs throughout the project. Eng. Alawi said that these projects show the ministrys determination to ensure that the roads and avenues of the Kingdom get the proper care and attention in order to increase safety and the functional performance of the roads network to ensure the safety and comfort of citizens.
