Beirut will drown at the first fraud!

Salwa wrote to Albuki in “Al -Nahar”: The Minister of Public Works and Transport, Fayez Rasamni, says that “the maintenance plan is not seasonal or circumstantial, but rather constitutes a comprehensive national plan that extends over 5 years, and covers 25 districts in 7 governorates. The plan includes about 3 thousand kilometers of maintenance work, and 500 kilometers of rehabilitation and tinglit, distributed between international, major and branch roads. Tizam, maintenance, and rehabilitation of roads and bridges in different Lebanese regions.
Rehabilitation of roads and bridges, which came in the context of launching a joint transportation plan, in which 93 buses were used, whose lines have soon expanded about 6 areas outside Beirut. The activation of the official transport sector through the “state buses” met a lot of popular praise, but it remains a minor from keeping pace with the need of 1.6 million Lebanese, which is the total number of workforce, in addition to the bloc of Syrian, Arab workers and the very large Africans, which uses joint transportation by approximately 99 %.
“The initial evaluation is encouraging,” Rasamani says, “Since we launched a joint transportation partnership in 2024, the number of operating lines has increased to 11: 5 inside Beirut and 6 in other regions. 5,500 to 6,000 passengers are used daily our fleet consisting of 93 buses. In the next stage, we are working to enter more than 150 additional buses through new donations, which allows the expansion of the network to cover destinations and areas that have not been previously. From the service.
The country needs a broader and largest urban transport plan, which is what the ministry seeks to achieve by starting statistics and protection for the property of the Railways Authority and its assets, in order to initiate the launch of the train service.
“We deal with the railway file with caution and realistic. The priority today is to protect the property affiliated with the authority, and we have started judicial measures against the encroachments. Parallel, we are working to re -employ some properties belonging to the railway for heritage and cultural projects, in line with any future plan to revive trains. In the long run, we do studies to develop tramway inside Beirut and its suburbs (Beirutkhdeel, Beirut Al -Hazmiyyah, Beirutalra), projects that can change the face of urban transport. ”
Paints are not absent from the interest of works, as two painters confirm the existence of a “medium -term plan (20252030) that include the rehabilitation of the sidewalk 9, the creation of new pads, the construction of a modern gate with a solar power system, and an administrative building with a passenger station and a shopping center.
What awaits the port of Tripoli is no less important than what awaits the port of the capital. The port of Tripoli is ready for the implementation phase, starting from the jokes of wheat with a capacity of 120 thousand tons, a floating basin for ship maintenance, and the expansion of the station to reach the number of containers to half a million annually, and the establishment of a modern customs square. These projects will make Tripoli an essential economic crane for Lebanon and a pivotal center for the reconstruction of the region, “according to my painters.”
After more than two decades, the Jounieh port became ready to work, a modern tourist port. This comes “after rehabilitating and providing all official equipment from customs, public security and inspection devices. The port is qualified to receive medium -sized ships designated for tourism transport, which makes it a qualitative addition to the tourist and economic structure in Jounieh, provides an independent marine outlet capable of supporting the tourism movement,” according to a painter.
Rafic Hariri International Airport is not absent from the ministry’s interest. In spite of the works and works that were carried out in the summer within it, and when it is free, and on the roads and entrances leading to it, and the preparations that preceded the political and security conditions and developments for the success of the tourism summer season, its development projects have reached its absorptive capabilities to 20 million passengers annually, did not stop, and studies and implementation are graduated in medium and long -term stages.
Rassamani talks about the most prominent provisions of the airport development plan that was placed at three levels: immediate works: updating the current hall and a temporary hall in the old customs building to raise the capacity to 10 million passengers annually.
The first stage of expansion: building a new hall west of the airport to raise the capacity to 16 million passengers.
The second stage: Establishing an additional oriental hall, to reach the capacity to 20 million passengers annually, and to strengthen the airport location as a regional axis of air navigation.
Painting attaches great importance to operating Qulayat Airport. To the directive plan, the study of feasibility and the book of conditions, it is submitted by a draft law to be obligated in a partnership or commitment form, and it was agreed to activate the partnership law between the public and private sectors. He placed his eye in the project commitment before the end of the government’s mandate in June 2026.
In preparation for the winter season, the ministry started at the beginning of September a comprehensive cleaning campaign for rainwater streams in various regions, with a focus on the points that witnessed floods previously. A national awareness campaign will be launched to reduce the throwing of waste, because the success of the ministry’s plans in the opinion of two painters “also depends on the citizen’s awareness and his commitment to not block the drainage networks.
