Prof.Dr. Raghad Abdul Razzaq Al-Hashemi, Vice President for Administrative Affairs, participated in a meeting of the Traffic Congestion Relief Committee in the capital, Baghdad. The meeting was chaired by the Minister of Construction, Housing, and Public Municipalities, and attended by several leaders and relevant authorities.
During the meeting, Prof.Dr. Al-Hashemi proposed the construction of a pedestrian bridge in the Al-Jadriya area, with the aim of serving students and staff of the University of Baghdad and reducing traffic accidents, especially during peak hours, given the importance of the strategic location and the intersection of traffic near the university campus.
The meeting also included discussions on updates regarding the first and second phases of the traffic congestion relief projects in both the Karkh and Rusafa sides of the city. It involved a review of progress schedules and obstacles hindering implementation, with the goal of finding urgent solutions in coordination with the concerned authorities.
Participants in the meeting included Engineer Hussein Jassim, Director General of the Roads and Bridges Directorate; Lieutenant General Jasim Al-Zubaidi, Security Coordinator for Traffic Congestion Relief Projects in the Prime Minister’s Office; along with several consulting experts, project officials, and heads of technical departments. This activity contributes to achieving two Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
