The project, focused on Ibrahim Street in the Korba area, is part of a national initiative to improve urban landscapes and ease traffic congestion.
During their tour, the two officials reviewed ongoing work
to reorganize street layouts, create pedestrian-only zones, and establish
public seating areas. The renovation includes new sidewalks, lighting, and tree
planting, as well as the restoration of building facades to highlight the
area's distinctive architectural character.
The Minister directed that the adjacent Baghdad Street be
included in the development plan to create a more integrated urban renewal
vision for the area.
Awad emphasized the need to complete the project quickly,
stating it would achieve a qualitative leap in the area's urban scene and
enhance its historical value.
She added that coordination with the Ministry of Interior's
traffic department is underway to manage traffic flow around the site. The goal
is to transform Ibrahim Street into a pedestrian-only zone to improve traffic
flow, enhance quality of life, and create a safer, more efficient urban environment.
Governor Saber confirmed that the governorate is closely
monitoring the project in cooperation with the Urban Harmony Authority and the
Ministry of Local Development to ensure its completion on schedule.
