Next Steps for the Project

Muscat Municipality stated that discussions are ongoing with the developer to finalize a feasible solution. Once a mutually agreed approach is established, construction activities will resume promptly. The Municipality also highlighted its commitment to keeping the public informed about further updates regarding the project’s timeline and progress.

Public Assurance and Future Developments

The Al-Ghubra Bridge expansion is a critical infrastructure project aimed at enhancing connectivity and traffic efficiency in the area.
