ERBIL — Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani inaugurated the Spilk-Khalifan highway project, which has been completed at a cost of 64 billion Dinars.

PM Barzani inaugurated the Spilk-Khalifan road and Khalifan project in the Soran Administration on Wednesday. He stated that this important project will help citizens move around, connect different areas, and make it easier for people to benefit in terms of safety and time reduction.

The Prime Minister emphasized that this initiative is part of the Kurdistan Regional Government's campaign to build and improve road quality.

“I congratulate the implementing company for completing the project in a very quick and advanced manner,” added the Kurdish Prime Minister.

He also acknowledged the Ministry of Reconstruction and Housing and its Minister for their enthusiasm, which has enabled the construction of roads in Kurdistan with high quality and advanced methods.

The Prime Minister stressed that efforts are underway to connect all provinces, cities, and villages, ensuring that citizens no longer face traffic problems. He mentioned that areas lacking roads and streets will be included in the development program.

The Kurdish leader laid the foundation stone for the project on September 15, 2022, and it is now complete. The road spans 8.5 kilometers, starting from the bends of Spilk road to the outskirts of Khalifan, and has been implemented at a cost of 64 billion Dinars.

The Spilk-Khalifan highway project is part of the main road between Erbil and Soran.

This project is one of 585 important road projects completed during the ninth cabinet. It is also part of the Hamilton Road, which connects the Haji Omeran border gate with Erbil province, and will contribute to the revival of the trade and tourism sector in the Soran Administration.
