Challenges encountered in Al-Ghubra bridge expansion project: Muscat Municipality

Muscat: Muscat Municipality has issued a statement addressing concerns raised on various media platforms regarding the suspension and delay in the expansion of the Al-Ghubra Bridge. This project, forming part of the expansion works for Oman Avenues Mall (Phase 2), is being undertaken by the project developer.

The Municipality acknowledged that, as with any major infrastructure project within a city centre, certain challenges have been encountered. These challenges have necessitated a temporary pause in construction to allow for the evaluation of viable solutions. This pause has naturally required some time, particularly as some aspects of the work are being carried out outside the Sultanate.

Muscat Municipality reassured the public that it is continuing to work closely with the developer to assess and implement feasible alternative solutions. Once an agreement is reached, construction will resume, ensuring both structural integrity and traffic safety.
