The Ministry of Transportation recently withdrew the Shari'a Bridge project in the Holy Capital, which cost about 100 million, and appointed another contractor to complete the works, as the new contractor started the actual implementation to complete and repair the existing and previously observed defects that led to its failure by the previous contractor.

The previous contractor had dealt negligently in the stages of completion of the bridge, as he left the height of the electricity supply covers on the asphalt, which posed a danger to road users, in addition to leaving covers on the pavement.

Rickety sidewalks were also spotted on both sides of the road, in addition to neglecting the implementation of asphalt and the cracks in it, without taking into account the height and drop of the road.
