During a recent session presided over by Abdullah Al-Muhairi, the Municipal Council (MC) approved the Ministry of Public Works’ request to allocate the right-of-way for the Kuwait–Saudi Arabia railway project.

The railway project is said to span a total of 85km, stretching from the southwestern border to Al-Shadadiya.

Furthermore, the Council approved the Ministry of Interior’s request to amend its previous decision regarding driving school sites that were previously used by the Kuwait Driving School Company. Additionally, the Council approved 2 requests from the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy.

The initial concern revolved around determining the appropriate route for overhead power lines that would connect the primary electricity substation, Z3, located in the Sabah Al-Ahmad residential area, to the Mohammed Al-Ahmad Naval Base (Navy-A) situated in the Al-Zour area.

The second approved request involved allocating a route for cables originating from a main electricity substation in the Al-Wafra residential area and extending northward towards the Abu Kharjin and Al-Sabahiya areas.

The Council said it also approved 3 requests from the Ministry of Defense, as well as a request from the Green Urban Development Initiatives Committee to construct a memorial at the intersection of Fahaheel Road and the First Ring Road, spanning the Dasma and Bneid Al-Gar neighborhoods.

Additionally, the Council approved a request from the Ministry of Social Affairs to relocate a restaurant in Khaldiya (suburban center) to be situated adjacent to the police station.
