Workshops of the Raqqa Municipality began, yesterday Friday, laying asphalt concrete and paving the Northern Corniche Road up to the Governorate building, as part of a comprehensive plan to maintain roads in the city's neighborhoods to improve infrastructure. Mahmoud Al-Hammam, head of the committee supervising the road maintenance project, explained that the work started by paving the first layer of the road connecting from the Aleppo road towards the Corniche, with a length of approximately 800 meters.
Al-Hammam added that upon completion of the first layer, work on constructing side sidewalks and installing lighting poles will be completed, with workshops later moving to implement the second layer and road marking. He indicated that the expected duration to complete the project ranges between 15 and 20 days. He pointed out that this vital road serves major buildings, most notably the new Governorate building, the Health Directorate, the Traffic Branch, and several schools.
For his part, Al-Hammam noted the completion of partial maintenance works on main roads, which included approximately 7,000 cubic meters of asphalt concrete, distributed across 18 main streets within the city. He affirmed the continuation of efforts during the current season to improve roads and meet residents' needs, while several citizens expressed their satisfaction with the maintenance works that contributed to removing potholes and rainwater accumulation.
Abu Al-Humaida, the neighborhood head of Al-Dar'ia neighborhood and Al-Jami' Al-Safa area, wished for the rehabilitation of streets within the neighborhood that face significant difficulties, especially during rainy seasons. For his part, citizen Ghanem Al-Saeed confirmed the noticeable improvement in the street's condition, expressing hope that services will be completed to enhance the city's urban appearance.
