The government of Khartoum state has embarked on a new initiative aimed at revamping the city's visual appeal. The "Khartoum State Murals" project was launched in a ceremony attended by Khartoum Governor, Ahmed Othman Hamza. The project brings together a group of local artists to create murals along the city's infrastructure. The Khartoum State government has partnered with the state's Roads and Bridges and Drainage Pipes Authority to oversee the project.
The project was launched during a comprehensive tour of the state's infrastructure projects by the Director-General of the Roads and Bridges and Drainage Pipes Authority, Engineer Mukhtar Omer Saber. The tour aimed to assess the progress of various infrastructure projects across the state's municipalities. Engineer Saber emphasized that the murals project represents a platform for expressing the country's culture and promoting social cohesion.
The murals project is part of a broader effort to restore Khartoum's urban landscape. During his tour, Engineer Saber inspected the ongoing maintenance work on the city's drainage systems and roads. He visited the Muhammad Najib Street in Khartoum municipality, where road maintenance and drainage system upgrades are underway. The Director-General also evaluated the ongoing construction work at the intersection of the Municipal Street and Mek Nimr Street.
Engineer Saber directed the relevant authorities to conduct studies aimed at ensuring efficient stormwater drainage and smooth traffic flow in the area. This move is part of a broader effort to address traffic congestion and improve the state's road infrastructure. The authority is working to complete the remaining work within the set timeline.
In Karrari municipality, Engineer Saber inspected the ongoing maintenance work on the Doshinab Bridge on the Western Nile Road.
