Baghdad: Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani officially opened the Baghdad-Khalis road this morning, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing Baghdad-Kirkuk road rehabilitation and maintenance project. The road stretches for 60 kilometers and facilitates both directions of travel.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the inauguration event was attended by several high-ranking officials and marks a critical phase in enhancing the infrastructure within Iraq. The Baghdad-Khalis road is an essential part of the broader Baghdad-Kirkuk road project, which aims to improve transportation links and boost economic activities in the region.

The rehabilitation of this road is expected to significantly reduce travel time between Baghdad and Khalis, thereby facilitating smoother and more efficient movement of goods and people. The project also underscores the government’s commitment to improving public services and infrastructure.
