Governor of Al-Bayda, Abdullah Idris, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Roads and Bridges Maintenance Fund, Engineer Nabil Al-Haifi, inspected the progress of work on the construction of the strategic Radman District Bridge, linking Al-Bayda and Ma’rib governorates. The project, costing 100 million riyals, is funded by the local authority and the Roads Fund.

Idris and Al-Haifi, accompanied by Deputy Governor Ahmed Al-Siqal and Director of the General Authority for Roads and Bridges, Engineer Ahmed Al-Madani, received a briefing from project managers on the progress, implementation phases, and completion percentage.

Governor Idris emphasized that this project reflects the local authority’s commitment to improving road and bridge infrastructure, given its crucial role in supporting economic and social activity and serving the residents of Al-Bayda and neighboring governorates. He also stressed the importance of rehabilitating and maintaining roads connecting districts and linking Al-Bayda to Ma’rib via the Al-Sawadiyah-Radman-Qaniyah road. For his part, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Road Maintenance Fund emphasized the importance of road maintenance and on-site monitoring of project implementation, working to overcome any obstacles to ensure its completion according to the required engineering standards, thus contributing to achieving the desired benefits.

These roads require maintenance, repairs, filling potholes, and paving of damaged areas, especially before the rainy season.

Furthermore, the Governor, the Fund’s Chairman, and the Deputy Governors, Ahmed Al-Siqal and Saleh Al-Jufi, reviewed the condition of several streets in Rada’a city, including Jubn Street, which requires paving and maintenance due to its deterioration and its impact on traffic and residents.
