Bahrain’s Tender Board has awarded the Mina Salman Intersection Project to Afcons Infrastructure Company of India.

Mr Essam Khalaf works minister of Bahrain said that about 70% of work will be completed by local contractors in line with government directives to support them. It will be implemented within 28 months at a cost of BHD 24.2 million. It is one of the key projects to develop the roads network to cope with increasing traffic and transportation.

He said that the intersection along Shaikh Isa bin Salman Highway will facilitate non stop traffic from King Fahad Causeway to Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman Port. About 74,000 vehicles and trucks use the intersection daily and 8,000 vehicles during peak times, particularly in mornings.
