Project Description

On one end, it constitutes a link between previously executed sections such as “A3-A1” and existing Damascus Road, and on the other end, the final part of “Section B” that links Beirut-Damascus Road to the Airport Boulevard.

 

The project will also deal with providing better accesses to the Presidential Palace and Baabda/Hadath area in all possible directions.
