KUWAIT CITY, Feb 8: According to informed sources in the Ministry of Public Works, 70 percent of the urgent plan implemented by the ministry to repair the Kabd, Abdali and Salmi roads has been completed, and the entire plan will be completed before the national holidays. The sources explained that the plan began with directives and clear instructions from the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of State for Municipal Affairs Dr. Noura Al-Mashaan immediately after she assumed the ministerial portfolio. The Kabd Road is being repaired by the Maintenance Engineering Sector of the ministry, and the Salmi and Kabd Roads are being repaired by the Public Authority for Roads and Transportation (PART). The plan includes closing all potholes and cracks on the roads caused by heavy trucks, which puts the lives of citizens and residents at risk.
reforms currently taking place are based on an urgent plan that differs from future contracts that the ministry will implement throughout the country through national cadres who are currently being prepared to supervise the work that will be conducted in accordance with the necessary standards and quality. The problem of supervision is considered one of the problems facing road maintenance, as it requires trained technicians to follow up the work with precision and complete professionalism. The sources indicated that the materials used in repairing and treating roads were tested and inspected by the ministry’s laboratories at the Government Center for Quality Control.
