This improvement will increase the traffic capacity of the road by 1.5 thousand cars per hour per lane. Al Manama Street will also be expanded in this sector from the entrance to International City to Academic City Street from two to five lanes in each direction. The expansion will increase the throughput of this street from 3 thousand cars to 7.5 thousand cars per hour, "he said .
