The Secretary of Baghdad announces the Baghdad metro project that will see the light soon
Baghdad Mayor Ammar Moussa Kazem confirmed on Thursday that the capital’s metro project will soon come to light under the support of the services government, adding that it will cover about 80% of the city’s areas.
A statement from the Secretariat, a copy of which was received, said that “Kadhim held a meeting at the headquarters of the Baghdad Municipality under his chairmanship and in the presence of the Advisor to the Prime Minister for Transport Affairs, Nasser Al-Asadi, the Undersecretary of the Baghdad Technical Secretariat, the Director General of the Design Department, the Technical Engineering Team of the Secretariat and one of the consulting companies specialized in the field of transport and trains.”
Kazim stressed that “the cabinet session last Tuesday approved the necessary financial allocations to contract with a global consulting company to provide an integrated vision for the implementation of the metro capital Baghdad.”
He added, “The Baghdad Metro project is one of the old projects for which the Baghdad Municipality prepared several studies that did not see the light because of the inability to implement them because it was required to take possession of many land and disburse large funds.”
Kadim continued, “The government of services today, under the management of the Prime Minister, has prepared a new vision for the management of the metro file and we are strongly proceeding to implement it, and very soon the project will see the light to serve the people of the capital.”
Kazim pointed out that “the proposed new areas for the metro will cover up to 80% of the areas of the city of Baghdad, which contributes to addressing traffic jams and meeting the transportation requirements for population complexes and overpopulation areas.”
He added, “The Prime Minister’s adviser for transport affairs confirmed that the metro project is now one of the priorities of the Iraqi government and enjoys personal follow-up by the Prime Minister and is contracting with a specialized advisory body that is the best in the world in the field of trains.”
