MUSCAT: Muscat Municipality has announced a temporary halt in the ongoing construction work. The decision comes in response to concerns regarding both the structural integrity of the project and the safety of traffic around the construction site. In an official statement, the municipality emphasized the importance of addressing these issues before proceeding further with the construction activities. The municipality is actively working with the contractors and relevant authorities to reach an agreement that will ensure the project’s completion while prioritizing the safety of workers and the public.
The halt in construction is a precautionary measure to ensure that the final structure meets all safety standards and does not pose any risks to pedestrians or motorists. The municipal authorities clarified that once the necessary agreements are made, work will resume, but only after implementing comprehensive safety protocols. These measures are aimed at preventing any potential hazards that could arise during the remainder of the construction process.
Muscat Municipality also assured residents and businesses in the area that the delay is temporary and that efforts are underway to resolve any technical and safety-related issues. The municipality is committed to completing the project on time, but they will not compromise on public safety. The continued collaboration between the relevant authorities and contractors will ensure that the work proceeds smoothly once it resumes.
The construction project, which aims to improve the infrastructure of the area, is of significant importance to the municipality. However, the safety of the public and the workers is the top priority. The authorities have urged the public to remain patient as the necessary safety measures are put in place, promising that the project will resume as soon as possible once all concerns are addressed.
