Congestion beating measures in Bahrain will see the construction of a new underpass and a section of flyover. Worth some US$95.5 million the work will see the existing roundabouts at Alba and Nuwaidrat at Shaikh Jaber Bin Al Sabah Highway being replaced with the underpass and flyover sections. The work is required as the roundabouts become highly congested at peak periods, resulting in severe delays for road users. The project has been budgeted for the 2011-2012 financial year although the timeframe for the work has yet to be revealed. When the new flyover and underpass are complete they will connect with the Bahrain-Qatar Friendship Bridge. The project will also include the installation of new traffic signals.
