As part of the Ninth Cabinet of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) focus on infrastructure development, work continues on the strategic Korre-Shaqlawa-Qandil road project. Recognized as one of the region’s most significant infrastructure initiatives, the project is being executed by local labor in line with high international quality standards.
The 10-kilometre road is being built as a dual carriageway, with three modern interchanges designed to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. A key feature of the project is the construction of the Mirawa and Mawaran tunnels, developed using modern engineering techniques consistent with international standards. While one side of the road has already been completed, intensive work continues on the second carriageway.
The project has an allocated budget of IQD 90 billion, and officials say its rapid progress and adherence to timelines could result in early completion. Once finished, the road will provide significant benefits to residents, tourists, and the region’s overall connectivity.
By relying on local expertise, the KRG highlights its commitment to strengthening domestic capacity and supporting local companies in the execution of strategic infrastructure projects.
