Sulaymaniyah Municipality executed multiple infrastructure projects from July 12-22, 2025, including road paving, tunnel openings, sewage network installation, and concrete work, aimed at enhancing urban development and improving citizen services throughout the city.

Strategic Suburban Street Opening and Key Projects

The most significant achievement during this period was the opening of the suburban street connecting the city center junction to the underground Peshraw area on July 22, 2025. This project represents one of the municipality’s strategic plans designed to reduce traffic congestion and facilitate smoother transportation flow throughout the city. Although some minor construction work remains incomplete, both sides of the street were opened to ensure public safety and accommodate the critical importance of this transportation route for daily commuters.

The suburban street project demonstrates the municipality’s commitment to long-term urban planning solutions. By creating alternative routes and improving connectivity between different city districts, these infrastructure developments directly address growing traffic demands while supporting economic activities across various neighborhoods. The strategic timing of the opening reflects careful consideration of public needs despite ongoing construction phases.

Comprehensive Road Development and Paving Operations

Municipal teams maintained continuous progress in road paving and renovation projects throughout the week. Several major paving initiatives were completed, including the comprehensive renovation of 80th Street in the Kamyaran Canal area, funded entirely through the municipality’s revenue streams. This project involved complete surface renewal and infrastructure upgrades to ensure long-term durability and improved driving conditions.

On Monday, July 21, 2025, construction teams initiated the paving work for the Tanjaro roundabout leading to the Sulaymaniyah-Arbat market area. This strategic location serves as a crucial commercial hub, making road quality improvements essential for supporting local businesses and facilitating goods transportation. The project encompasses both surface paving and underlying infrastructure enhancements to accommodate heavy commercial traffic.

Additional paving operations extended to residential areas, with teams working on various streets and alleys throughout the Gulebakh district starting Friday, July 12. These efforts demonstrate the municipality’s commitment to improving infrastructure across all neighborhoods, ensuring that residential areas receive equal attention alongside major commercial corridors.

Malik Mahmud Ring Road Renewal Project

On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, excavation work began on Malik Mahmud ring road, specifically the section facing Halgurd gas station and the city hospital. This preparatory work laid the foundation for subsequent paving operations that were completed in following days. The project required careful coordination to minimize disruption to hospital access and commercial activities in this busy district.

Municipal teams continued working during official holidays, demonstrating dedication to maintaining project timelines and minimizing inconvenience to residents. The Malik Mahmud ring road renovation represents a significant investment in circular route infrastructure, supporting both healthcare accessibility and local business operations through improved road conditions and traffic flow management.

Infrastructure Development and Sewage Network Expansion

The municipality undertook several critical sewage infrastructure projects during this period. Teams completed sewage network installation in the upper Qulareis area, followed by the implementation of a shared sewage network system serving multiple residential buildings in the same district. These projects were funded entirely through municipal revenue, reflecting the city’s commitment to improving sanitation infrastructure without external dependency.

On Sunday, July 13, municipal supervision teams initiated concrete work on several streets in the Khewate 21st district. This concrete installation project aims to provide durable road surfaces capable of withstanding heavy traffic loads while reducing long-term maintenance requirements. The systematic approach to concrete installation ensures consistent quality standards across all treated areas.

Cemetery Maintenance and Environmental Services

Sulaymaniyah Municipality maintains a weekly schedule for cemetery cleaning and vegetation management, particularly focusing on post-weekend maintenance following Friday visits by citizens. These environmental services extend beyond basic cleaning to include comprehensive landscaping and waste management throughout cemetery grounds.

The municipality has requested cooperation from citizens and media outlets in promoting environmental awareness and maintaining cemetery cleanliness. This community engagement approach recognizes that sustainable environmental management requires active participation from all stakeholders, including residents, businesses, and media organizations.

Concurrently, Raparin Municipality conducted extensive cleaning operations for public drainage systems, cleared several vacant lots within their jurisdiction, and performed maintenance on manholes and multiple inlet systems. These complementary efforts across different municipal districts demonstrate coordinated infrastructure management throughout the greater Sulaymaniyah area.
