The ongoing project also involves the construction of a flyover at NAHCo/Toll Gate and drainage works and the construction of Pedestrian Bridge at NAHCO/Hajj Camp, which has led to traffic gridlock

According to her,  “We apologise for the inconveniences being encountered by passengers due to the situation, the authority has already mobilised security agencies to ensure that the situation is effectively managed.”
