Baghdad: Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani launched the implementation works of the Al-Kray’at Bridge project this morning, Wednesday, as part of the campaign to rebuild the holy Kadhimiya. It is the first development project in the (Fifth Division) area, which aims to open the military zone, which has been closed for decades, and allocate its lands for the establishment of service facilities, cultural and religious centers, and multiple rest towns for visitors.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, this initiative marks a significant step in transforming the region, which has long been restricted due to its military designation. The project is expected to provide a substantial boost to the local economy by attracting visitors and fostering community development through the creation of new public spaces and amenities.

The Al-Kray’at Bridge project reflects a broader governmental strategy to enhance infrastructure and improve living standards in key areas across the country. By reallocating the lands previously reserved for military use, the project not only opens up new opportunities for urban development but also respects the cultural and religious significance of the holy Kadhimiya.

The government’s focus on developing cultural and religious centers as part of this project underscores its commitment to preserving and promoting the rich heritage of the area, while simultaneously catering to the needs of the local population and visitors.
