Press Releases
Diyar Al Muharraq, Bahrain’s largest real estate developer, commends the tireless efforts of the Ministry of Works on the official launch of the Muharraq ring road on Tuesday, 31 December 2024. As one of the Ministry’s major strategic projects, the new road has had a positive impact on the community connecting road users between Muharraq and the Capital.
Through its shortened route and higher capacity, the new road enables residents and visitors to access Diyar Al Muharraq within minutes from Manama. This ease of access has not only reduced travel time but also strengthened Diyar Al Muharraq’s position as a destination of choice for residents seeking a modern, connected lifestyle. The improved connectivity also enhances the city’s appeal to visitors, businesses, and investors, creating a thriving ecosystem for economic and social growth.
This project serves the residents in the city who conduct daily commutes to and from Diyar Al Muharraq. Additionally, the ring road provides smoother and more efficient access for businesses operating in and around Diyar Al Muharraq, and increased attractiveness for investors looking to benefit from the city’s strategic location. The opening of the Muharraq ring road underscores Bahrain’s commitment to developing its infrastructure through high-quality, strategic initiatives, while maintaining the Kingdom’s ongoing urbanization plan.
This development further supports Diyar Al Muharraq’s role in contributing to Bahrain’s economic diversification by attracting retail, hospitality, and commercial opportunities to the area. This project also reflects a vital step towards elevating the quality of life for individuals and the local community, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the road network and improving the flow of traffic through reduced travel time. The new road also supports elevated business activities, further contributing to uplifting the national economy.
Commenting on the occasion, Eng. Ahmed Ali Alammadi, Chief Executive Officer of Diyar Al Muharraq, lauded the efforts of the Ministry of Works, saying: “We value the directives of His Excellency Eng. Ebrahim bin Hassan Al Hawaj, Minister of Works, resulting in the launch of the new ring road, as well as meeting the objectives of the overall development process. We would also like to commend the tireless efforts of our national talents who oversaw the completion of this vital project. In addition to the ongoing coordination and collaboration of all entities towards launching the road in record-breaking time.”
He added: “This project aligns with the recent investment, commercial and residential developments taking place in the Muharraq governorate. It also represents a significant shift in the Kingdom’s overall road network, as it aims to boost connectivity between Muharraq and its surrounding areas. For Diyar Al Muharraq, the ring road has not only facilitated access to and from the city but has also significantly increased its visibility as a thriving hub for shopping, local tourism, and cultural experiences. The improved access has allowed Diyar Al Muharraq to welcome a growing number of visitors and businesses, further solidifying its position as a premier destination for integrated living, commerce, and recreation. The project has opened up new opportunities for businesses and further solidified Diyar Al Muharraq’s role as a model city for integrated living and economic growth in Bahrain.”
The project serves as a key driver for ongoing government initiatives designed to boost accessibility between the Capital and Muharraq governorates, driving further traffic into Muharraq. Future plans will connect the Muharraq ring road to Bahrain Bay through a 500-meter bridge, providing even faster and more seamless entry into Diyar Al Muharraq. This connectivity milestone will ensure that Diyar Al Muharraq continues to grow as a vital hub for economic activity, cultural engagement, and community development, reinforcing its pivotal role in the Kingdom’s vision for sustainable progress.
