Kurdistan Region Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani’s transformative vision for Sulaymaniyah advances as the 100-Meter Street project approaches completion. Spanning 37 kilometers with 26 kilometers opening soon, this Talabani-led national infrastructure initiative—built to international standards by local contractors—promises to revolutionize traffic flow and boost the city’s economy.
The 100-Meter Street project in Sulaymaniyah represents a monumental leap forward for the Kurdistan Region’s infrastructure development. Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani spearheaded this transformative initiative, which will serve the city for over three decades.
The ambitious project stretches 37 kilometers across Sulaymaniyah, with 26 kilometers scheduled to open to citizens within days. Built entirely by domestic contractors adhering to international standards, the project demonstrates the Kurdistan Region’s growing technical capabilities and commitment to self-sufficiency in major infrastructure development.
Advanced Infrastructure Features
The street boasts impressive engineering specifications: one overpass, five underpasses, one elevated bridge, seven intersections, and 68 drainage systems. This comprehensive infrastructure addresses long-standing urban planning challenges and positions Sulaymaniyah among modern regional cities. The sophisticated design ensures effective water management during heavy rainfall while facilitating smooth traffic flow across multiple levels.
Economic and Transportation Benefits

The 100-Meter Street will significantly reduce traffic congestion throughout the city center, easing daily commutes for thousands of residents. The improved transportation network creates substantial economic opportunities by facilitating commercial movement and business operations across Sulaymaniyah.
The project represents major relief from traffic obstacles that have plagued the city for years. Simultaneously, dozens of other main roads and streets throughout Sulaymaniyah are undergoing expansion and improvement work, creating a comprehensive urban transportation overhaul.
Deputy Prime Minister Talabani’s leadership on this initiative demonstrates the Kurdistan Regional Government’s commitment to long-term urban development. By investing in robust infrastructure built to last 35 years, the project ensures
Sulaymaniyah’s continued growth as an economic and cultural hub within the Kurdistan Region.
