MUSCAT : The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, through the Directorate General of Roads and Land Transport in Dhofar Governorate, has commenced a significant infrastructure project in the Wilayat of Muqshin.
The initiative, valued at RO 13 million, currently 23.4% complete as of September 2024, will link the centre of Maqshin to various key districts, including Mander Al-Dhabiyan, Al-Mashash, and Marsoudad. Divided into four simultaneous phases, the plan includes the construction of several roads: the 43-kilometre Marsoudd-Al Manader Road, a 16-kilometre stretch connecting Al Manader to Mander Al Dhabyan, a 44-kilometre route from Maqshan to Al Manader, and a 67-kilometre road from Marsoudd-Al Manader intersection to Al Mashash.
Beyond just improving transportation, the road network is expected to enhance flood resilience with integrated rainwater drainage systems and traffic safety features. Additionally, it will facilitate smoother traffic flow, bolster social ties, and stimulate commercial and tourism activities within Muqshin and its surroundings.
