MANAMA: Development of the Diyar Al Muharraq masterplan has largely bucked the ramifications of Covid-19 thanks to the adoption of an innovative and flexible approach, it has emerged.
According to Diyar Al Muharraq chief executive Ahmed Alammadi the difficulties brought about by the pandemic were overcome through the use of “our significant talent pool and resources to ensure business continuity and the completion of projects in a timely manner.”
“Given the conditions in 2020, we are proud to say that we have not fallen far behind on our construction schedule, and are pleased with the pace of our current project development as it stands. As we gradually return to normalcy, we remain even more committed to completing our projects and look forward to a journey of growth and success with many more accomplishments in the future,” he added.
One of the largest real estate developers in the kingdom yesterday announced the commencement of work on the 12.2sqkm man-made island city’s entrance junction.
As part of a plan to improve accessibility to residents and visitors alike, work on traffic signals are underway allowing quicker and easier access to the integrated city.
Reconfiguration works began at the beginning of December 2020, for an estimated duration of 9 months.
Eastern Asphalt and Mixed Concrete Company was appointed to build the junction over 5 phases, which are expected to be completed by third quarter of 2021, while ensuring smooth traffic movement throughout this period.
Commenting, Mr Alammadi said, “It is our pleasure to announce the commencement of the junction reconfiguration of Diyar Al Muharraq which aims to provide residents and visitors with facilitated access and ease of movement to major facilities surrounding the main entrance. This step coincides with the readiness of a number of key residential, commercial and touristic attractions in the city, which will increase the influx of visitors to the city overall. We look forward to completing this vital conjunction soon to provide more convenience to residents and guests of Diyar Al Muharraq.”
Upon completion, the reconfigured junction will serve to better facilitate the flow of traffic by easing the movement of vehicles to the major points of interest in the vicinity of the main entrance.
This includes providing easy entrance and exit to and from the Diyar Al Muharraq sales centre, Marassi Galleria, the upcoming Address Marassi Al Bahrain and Vida Marassi Al Bahrain Hotels, Souq Al Baraha, as well as projects in the pipeline such as the new Diyar Marina.

Opening soon will be Hadiqat Al Diyar, a 32,800sqm outdoor park and recreational area, having more than 200 parking spaces.
