Beirut:The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has successfully completed asphalting works on two temporary crossings in Borj Rahhal and Tayr Falsay. This initiative was carried out under the directives of Minister Fayez Rasamny and was supervised by the Ministry's Regional Directorate of Public Works in South Lebanon.
According to National news agency - Lebanon, these efforts are part of an urgent intervention to address damage to roads and bridges in the southern region, aiming to restore traffic flow along vital routes.
At the Borj Rahhal Bridge, the works involved laying and compacting an asphalt layer on the temporary crossing along the international highway. This measure is intended to improve traffic conditions while awaiting permanent repairs to the damaged infrastructure.
In Tayr Falsay, the ministry also completed the asphalting of the temporary crossing over the Litani River at the February 6 Bridge. This crossing serves as an interim solution to facilitate movement between communities on both sides of the river while permanent repairs are pending.
The ministry has urged motorists, especially those using the Borj Rahhal Bridge, to exercise extreme caution, reduce speed, observe the narrowed roadway, and comply with traffic signs and safety instructions. It reaffirmed its commitment to continuing urgent repairs to damaged roads and bridges based on priorities on the ground, pending permanent solutions to restore connectivity across South Lebanon.
