Escaping Sheraton Traffic

Part of the Jahra Road Development Project has finally opened up! The bridge near the Jahra Roundabout (Sheraton) is open and it's about time! With all the construction that takes place in Kuwait, I think the majority of the population has just gotten used to the (temporary) inconveniences that come along with it. It was actually a bit exciting to have seen some progress.

The entire project will have taken five years to complete and it's actually the biggest of its kind in Kuwait. The starting point was September 2010, which means another four years to go. The main goal is to transform the 3 lane Jahra road into one highway and the estimated cost of the entire project is over KD 250 million!

More information can be found at the project's website.
