He considered the project to expand the northern entrance to Hodeidah city a vital artery that will contribute to facilitating the movement of travelers and the transport of goods to and from the port of Salif.
The Minister of Transport and Public Works emphasized the special priority that Hodeidah Governorate holds in the Ministry’s infrastructure development plans, given its economic and service importance. He affirmed the commitment to overcoming any obstacles that might hinder implementation to ensure the sustainability of these vital projects.
