Yemen road infrastructure and maintenance efforts

Overview

In Aden, Yemen, the General Corporation for Roads and Bridges held its first board meeting, chaired by Minister of Public Works and Roads Hussein Awad al-Aqrabbi. The meeting focused on reviewing the corporation’s establishment law, enhancing governance, and developing an operational budget for 2027 to restore the institution’s ability to maintain the national road network.

Following these administrative developments, Ali Mohammed Amer, Chairman of the Roads and Bridges Maintenance Fund, conducted field inspections of the Al-Taqnia–Inma asphalt project in the Mansoura district. Amer emphasized the need to accelerate implementation according to established schedules while strictly adhering to technical specifications and quality standards to ensure a sustainable and safe road for residents.

Furthering infrastructure efforts, Abdulrahman Sheikh, the Minister of State and Governor of Aden, met with Minister al-Aqrabbi and Minister of Electricity and Energy Adnan al-Kaf to accelerate several capital projects. Discussions centered on the Saudi-funded Sea Road project, specifically reviewing electricity and water service costs to facilitate technical and financial procedures. Officials also addressed the President Hadi Road project, spanning from the Caltex roundabout to the Al-Buraiqeh district, which will be funded equally by the Aden local authority and the Road and Bridge Maintenance Fund. The meeting concluded with a focus on managing traffic congestion and improving coordination between utility sectors to prevent conflicting infrastructure works.
