KUWAIT: The Safat Square will be closed for renovation work that will continue for a period of two years. The state plans to develop a public square and markets in zone that is flanked by five streets in Kuwait City.
In recent announcement, the Kuwait Municipality indicated that the location surrounded by the Ali Al-Salem, Fahd Al-Salem, Ahmad Al-Jaber, Abdullah Al-Salem and Algeria streets will undergo renovation at a total cost estimated at KD3 million. As part of the projects, the Safat Square in downtown Kuwait City will be closed to allow works to restore the location's features.
The statement further explains that a coordination will be established with the Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Electricity and Water(MEW), Ministry of Communication and other state departments to facilitate flooring, refurnishing, and agricultural work, reported Al-Qabas.
The Safat Square lies in the middle of a busy location in downtown Kuwait City, home to many businesses. In recent weeks, security forces have temporarily barricaded the square on Fridays to discourage the staging of public demonstrations.
