Infrastructure development and road maintenance efforts are underway in several Yemeni governorates.

In Shabwah, the Office of Public Works and Roads initiated a campaign in Ataq to rehabilitate internal roads. Led by Engineer Awad Ahmed Ruways, the project focuses on repairing cracks and filling potholes to improve traffic flow and urban appearance. Local authorities have called for the expansion of these works to more neighborhoods.

In Abyan, a 17.4-kilometer rehabilitation project for the Ja'ar-Al-Husn-Batees road has commenced. Self-funded by the Road Maintenance Fund, the project aims to improve safety and facilitate the movement of goods and services across the Abyan Delta, addressing long-standing demands from residents in the Abyan, Khanfar, and Yafa districts.
