Fast Lane Ahead: Jasra Flyover 60% Complete, Travel Time to Drop by 70%
The highly anticipated Jasra flyover has reached 60% completion, with the Ministry of Works announcing that the project is on track to significantly ease traffic congestion and reduce travel times by up to 70%.
Spanning 884 metres, the new bridge will allow vehicles to turn left from Janabiya Highway onto Shaikh Isa bin Salman Highway without stopping — a major upgrade for one of the Kingdom’s busiest junctions.
Once operational, the flyover is expected to accommodate up to 57,000 vehicles per day, a 33% increase in capacity compared to current figures.
The project is part of a broader strategy to enhance traffic flow around Madinat Salman and nearby residential areas, while also improving connectivity to Budaiya Highway and surrounding zones.
Aerial images released by the Ministry show the bridge structure steadily taking shape, with visible progress on-site signaling that smoother commutes are not far off.
Officials say the development will serve as a critical artery in Bahrain’s expanding road network, bringing much-needed relief to daily commuters.
