Capital Governor Shaikh Hisham bin Abdul Rahman Al Khalifa and HE the Minister of Works Essam bin Abdulla Khalaf inaugurated the first part of the third and final phase of North Manama Causeway Project, which is reflected in the main lanes of the causeway carrying traffic from south to north along Al Fateh Highway; from the Corniche until King Faisal Highway.

 

The Minister Khalaf explained that the opening will allow traffic heading north along Al Fateh Highway to cross the Diplomat Intersection non-stop towards east to Muharraq along Sheikh Isa bin Salman Causeway, or north to Bahrain Bay and the Financial Harbour, or west to Seef District and Hamad Town. The final parts of the project; reflected in the lanes carrying traffic from north to south, will be opened before the end of May. Forestation works will be implemented and completed by the end of 2013. ‘Once fully opened for traffic, the new causeway will provide a smooth traffic flow from Al Fateh Highway to Bahrain Bay and the Financial Harbour, in addition to north and west Manama. North Manama Causeway will also form a part of phase 1 of Manama Ring Road Project, aimed to link Muharraq to North Town,’ said Khalaf.
