On Wednesday, the Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar accompanied by the Prime Minister of the Parliament-designated Government, Osama Hamad inspected the construction of several bridges in Benghazi.

Members of the Benghazi Reconstruction and Stability Committee attended the visit. They provided Haftar with updates on the latest progress made by the executing companies.

Haftar commended the work, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same pace and adhering to engineering, technical, and quality standards. “This is to ensure that Benghazi becomes a hub for economy, culture, and civilization,” according to the statement.

Notably, the Benghazi Reconstruction and Stability Committee continues its efforts to construct four new bridges in the city, following a partnership agreement with the Egyptian company, Wadi Al-Nile.

The construction timeline is set at six months. One of the ongoing projects includes the construction of an iron bridge on Al-Wahda Al-Arabiya Street.

The bridges currently under construction include two suspension bridges, at the intersection of Venizia Street and Al-Hawari Road.

The third bridge is being built in conjunction with a tunnel at the intersection of the Airport Road, and the residential area project.

Lastly, the fourth bridge is being constructed at the intersection of the Airport Road, and the Dollar neighbourhood.

Notably, Egyptian President, Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi announced a significant upgrade for the Sallum land crossing. This development is viewed as a pivotal move that underscores Egypt’s commitment to enhancing trade relations with Libya.

During his visit to Marsa Matrouh, El-Sisi detailed plans to establish a dedicated logistical zone near the Sallum crossing, covering an area of 250-300 acres. This area is intended to specifically aid commerce between Egypt and Libya, a nod towards the importance of the bilateral trade relationship.

Highlighting the ongoing efforts, El-Sisi said, “Our focus on the Sallum port’s enhancement over the past four years is a testament to our intent. The development ensures that our interface with our Libyan partners is not only efficient, but also modern and dignified.” He further emphasised the transformative projects already in place, which are set to provide a major boost to the region.
