Major Upgrade Approved for Street 96 in Zallaq

The comprehensive redevelopment of Street 96 in Zallaq has been approved without objection, paving the way for long awaited improvements to one of the area’s key roads in the Eighth District of the Southern Governorate.

The project responds to long standing concerns over road deterioration, traffic pressure, and the overall condition of surrounding infrastructure. Street 96 serves as an important internal route within Zallaq, linking residential areas and handling steady daily vehicle movement, particularly during weekends and peak hours.

Plans include full resurfacing works, upgrades to the carriageway, and measures aimed at improving traffic flow and road safety. The redevelopment is also expected to review lane organisation to align with increasing usage and the area’s continued growth.

Members agreed that maintaining strategic roads is essential to preserving quality of life and supporting broader urban development. By moving forward with a structured upgrade, the council aims to restore functionality and elevate infrastructure standards in Zallaq.

Councillors emphasised that modern road improvements are fundamental to public safety. Well maintained streets reduce accident risks, enhance accessibility for emergency services, and contribute to a more organised and secure environment.

The decision reflects a wider municipal commitment to strengthening infrastructure resilience and responding directly to residents’ needs across Zallaq and the surrounding district.
