The project, encompassing the construction, development, and maintenance of roads and intersections serving the New Terminal Building at Kuwait International Airport along Maqwa Road, plays a key role in enhancing access to the airport and improving traffic flow through complex intersection designs and extensive roadworks.
The Maqwa Road Development and Maintenance project includes the construction of three major bridge-linked intersections:
- IC1: An at-grade roundabout with an underpass structure for Route 51 and two directional overpasses.
- IC2: A full cloverleaf interchange on the bypass, featuring two-way overpasses.
- IC3: At-grade roundabouts complemented by an exit underpass and two entrance bridges.
The project scope further includes 31 kilometers of roadway ranging from 2 to 7 lanes, 13 bridges totaling 2,500 meters in length, 3,600 meters of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls, two underpasses/tunnel structures spanning 2,150 meters, two pedestrian bridges, and four bus stop bays, alongside the relocation and protection of existing infrastructure lines.
Initiated in May 2025, the project reached 14.25% physical completion and was scheduled for final delivery in 2028.
