Jal el Dib Bridge to be taken down soon


[Source]

I heard news that the Jal el Dib Bridge needs to be taken down soon as it is no longer safe to keep it. While the project should have been initiated years back, it was postponed due to problems with Jal el Dib’s municipality but the bridge has become life-expired.

From what I heard, the new bridge will be very similar to the Antelias bridge and might harm few shops in the street leading to Jal el Dib’s main road.

    if the budget is high they’re gonna use the same stupid engineer company that was responsible for the geant bridge that is breaking records on daily basis btw..the traffic in the morning is touching even more cities to arrive all the way to the bridge to actually find out that all this time you have lost from dbaye till nahr lmot is caused by only this freakin bridge…anyways i doubt jal el dib will do better :)

    The problem will occur during the period of construction of the new bridge. The new deviation that should be done will cause huge traffic in the region inside jal el dib!
    I live in Beirut, and my village is in Jbeil. I think i will miss it for few years !
    I know it is a different subject but i has a certain relation with the current post, we need to start a campaign forcing the official authorities to really encourage investments in the peripheral region like Tripoly, Akkar, Zahleh, Baalbek, Tyre, Saida, Deir el Kamar, Jbeil, Batroun, Checkka etc …
