Riffa Avenue is getting a major facelift, with plans to turn it into a dual carriageway featuring four lanes in each direction and multi-level flyovers to ease congestion and shave time off journeys, the Ministry of Works has announced.
Responding to a question from MP Mohammed Mousa Mohammed, the ministry revealed details of the development, which also includes upgraded intersections, pedestrian bridges, and proper footpaths. The changes aim to make life easier for drivers and safer for pedestrians.
The project will also tackle practical concerns, such as improving drainage to handle rainwater, installing underground channels for utilities, and upgrading road lighting. New signs and markings will be added to improve safety and guide road users.
Meanwhile, the ministry confirmed that the Clock Roundabout is set for an upgrade too. The plan is to transform it into a multi-level interchange, allowing traffic to flow freely east and west between Shaikh Salman Avenue and Riffa Avenue without the usual stop-and-start delays.
