Contractor: Afcons Infrastructure
The project comprises the construction of a 3 level interchange, with a 3 level underpass on each direction; carrying traffic coming from Sh. Isa bin Salman Highway towards Hidd (both directions) along Sh. Khalifa bin Salman Causeway. There will also be a 2 lane flyover (one direction); carrying traffic from the west along Sh. Isa bin Salman Highway towards Al Fateh Highway to the North. The at-grade intersection will be controlled by traffic signals that allow traffic to circulate from and to Mina Salman Industrial Area through Avenue 42, Al Fateh Highway and Sh. Isa bin Salman Highway.
The project will provide a non-stop traffic flow from King Fahad Causeway (west) to Dry Dock Avenue (East), and from there to Khalifa bin Salman Port in Hidd, which is the latest port in the area and one of the biggest investments for Bahrain. Mina Salman Interchange Project will also serve a greater number of travelers coming to Bahrain International Airport via King Fahad Causeway. Once opened, Mina Salman underpass will reduce travel time from 38 to 18 minutes for drivers coming from Khalifa bin Salman Port along King Fahad Causeway.
