Bahrain is currently grappling with significant traffic congestions, leaving residents concerned about their daily commutes. With road closures spanning the island, the once-smooth drives have turned into prolonged journeys.

The Ministry of Interior has been proactive in updating the public about the road closures

Regular posts on social media detail which roads will remain closed throughout the summer months, aiming to keep citizens informed and prepared. Despite these efforts, the reality of increased commute times has become a concern for many. “Before the closures, my drive to work took about 20 minutes. Now, I’m spending nearly an hour in traffic,” shares Farina, a resident of Manama. This sentiment echoes across the island, as the usual hustle and bustle of Bahraini life now includes navigating detours and bottlenecks.
