Mogadishu (Halbeeg News) – The mayor of Mogadishu, Engineer Abdirahman Omar Osman has laid the foundation stone for the construction of connection roads in the city on Sunday.
19 interlock roads via seven districts in the capital will be significant for the movement of traffic in the city.
The Mogadishu mayor, engineer Yarisow said the move is part of a development program aimed at improving services.
” The project will affect seven districts in the capital in which existing gravel roads will be redeveloped into inter-locks,” the mayor said, adding ” It is just the first phase that aims all unpaved roads.”
Hamar-Jajab district became the first constituency to benefit from the project.
The Turkish government has helped Somali government renovate major roads in the city shortly in 2011 after armed group al-Shabaab was pushed out of the capital by joint Somali military and AMISOM peacekeeping troops.
Major infrastructure such as roads was destroyed in the aftermath of the civil strife in the country that broke out after the fall of president Siyad Barre regime in the early 1990s.
