The eastern based Libyan government announced yesterday that it had signed what it called ‘‘major contracts’’ with Egyptian companies for the construction of 11 new bridges in Derna, Benghazi, and Ajdabiya. The eastern based government reported that the signing ceremony included agreements with Ibrahim Al-Arjani, CEO of Neom Egyptian Company, and Hani Dahi, CEO of Wadi Al-Nile Company. The projects encompass the construction of six new bridges in Derna, namely the Sea Bridge, Wadi Al-Naqa Bridge, Mosque Al-Sahaba Bridge, Wadi 1 Bridge, Wadi 2 Bridge, and Wadi 3 Bridge. In Ajdabiya, two bridges will be constructed, including the Central City Bridge and the Intersection Bridge between the Ring Road and Tobruk Road. In Benghazi, three new bridges are planned: the Intersection Bridge at Al-Jarat Island, the Al-Salam Island Bridge at the eastern entrance of the city, and the Intersection Bridge at Al-Hawari Road with the Cement Factory.
