The Ministry of Equipment and Housing in Tunisia announced on Wednesday that a new bridge has been opened to traffic in Ben Arous. The bridge is part of the expansion project of the southern entrance to the capital city. Located at the intersection of Regional Road 22 and National Road 3A, the bridge will facilitate traffic flow for those coming from Al-Mourij and National Road 3A, allowing them to head towards Tunis via Regional Road 22 directly.
The new bridge, which spans over the hospital complex, is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion in the area. Prior to its opening, drivers had to navigate through the busy intersection of the hospital, leading to frequent traffic jams. With the opening of the bridge, commuters will now be able to bypass the hospital intersection, reducing travel time and alleviating congestion.
According to the Minister of Equipment and Housing, the opening of the new bridge is a crucial step in the ongoing expansion project of the southern entrance to the capital. The project aims to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the area. The minister urged the construction companies responsible for the project to expedite the completion of the remaining components.
The expansion project of the southern entrance to the capital is part of Tunisia's development plan for 2026-2030. The plan focuses on improving infrastructure and enhancing the overall quality of life for citizens. The Ministry of Equipment and Housing is working closely with other government agencies to ensure the successful implementation of the project.
The new bridge is a significant addition to the road network in Ben Arous, providing an alternative route for commuters and reducing the burden on the existing infrastructure. The bridge's design and construction took into account the growing traffic volume in the area, ensuring that it can accommodate the increasing number of vehicles.
Local residents and commuters have welcomed the opening of the new bridge, citing the significant reduction in travel time and congestion. The bridge is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, improving access to employment opportunities and essential services.
The Ministry of Equipment and Housing has confirmed that the project is on track, with the remaining components expected to be completed soon. Once completed, the expansion project of the southern entrance to the capital will have a significant impact on the city's infrastructure, improving traffic flow and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents.
