The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, unveiled the Aden and Sanaa square bridges in Baghdad’s Kadhimiya neighborhood as part of efforts to alleviate traffic congestion in the capital. These initiatives are designed to ease the burden on Baghdad’s roadways and improve overall traffic flow.
With a population of over eight million and more than three million vehicles, Baghdad faces significant traffic challenges daily. The lack of infrastructure upgrades for decades has contributed to the congestion, making it difficult for residents to navigate the city efficiently.
The Iraqi government is working on various projects, including the construction of new bridges, tunnels, and a ring road around Baghdad. These initiatives aim to improve traffic flow and reduce delays, ultimately enhancing the overall transportation experience for residents and visitors.
Additionally, intelligent traffic management systems are being deployed to further enhance traffic flow management and reduce congestion in the city. By the end of 2024, these projects are expected to have a significant impact on traffic conditions in Baghdad.
Overall, the opening of the Aden and Sanaa square bridges marks a positive step towards improving transportation infrastructure in Baghdad and addressing the city’s long-standing traffic challenges.
