Works, Municipalities Affairs and Urban Planning Minister Essam Khalaf opened the two-way three-lane artery as part of the Alba Roundabout development project.
The strategic Alba interchange scheme is financed by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development.
The opening ceremony was attended by MPs Mohammed Al Sisi Al Bouainain and Ahmed Al Ansari and Under-Secretary Ahmed Abdulaziz Al Khayyat.
The project will transform Alba roundabout into a three-level interchange that features a traffic signal-controlled at-grade intersection, a flyover with three lanes in each direction carrying traffic along Estiqlal Highway and King Hamad Highway and another one-way flyover with two lanes carrying traffic from Shaikh Jaber Al Ahmed Al Sabah Highway towards King Hamad Highway.
Work will now focus on the traffic signal, the rainwater drainage network and expansion of the highways to accomodate the massive flow of cars.
