SHAFAQNA– The Ministry of Housing and Public Works of Iraq announced that the ground road project for Hajj in the province of Najaf achieved a 72% progress. This road is the shortest route to Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi newspaper Sabaq wrote about it: “The completion rate of the first phase of constructing this road reached 72%.”

The newspaper also mentioned that the completion rate of the second phase of this project is approximately 35%, which includes the construction of 60 bridges.
