He said the ministry has drawn up comprehensive plans depending on the development of axis, roads and bridges as well as railway and maritime movements.

The first phase of Al Mahmoudia axis was established the length of 22 kilometers, said Wazir, pointing out three other axes will be established to serve the Mediterranean city.
