This has to be the coolest thing the local government has done so far. The First Ring Road has an actual website! For those of you who don’t visit the city much, construction is soon to start on the Sheraton round-about to help decrease the traffic. This First Ring Road website has information on this project including pictures of how the project will end up looking like AND pictures of the current progress. They are actually updating the site on a regular basis with pictures of the construction site.
Now the site design is ugly of course but thats to be expected. [Link]

Sorry Mark, But it looks Much Better Than this Site :S
i thought the same đŸ˜€
the design wasnt even half bad
after seeing bazaars site this one looks good
Seriously, the pixelated graphics and icon on the contact us page is much better than the look of your blog..
I think that its pretty cool of them to put this info up! I wish they would have a project progress on their that people would hold the government too.
at least the people trying to criticize should give a ligitimate link, its funny
Wow, so do you think properties including residential real estate around the first ring roud will boom and appreciate in price because of this huge improvement in the 1st ring road?? i mean the houses in shuwaikh and especially Shamiya (with direct access) that are directly on the first ring road?
if so, ive heard peopl saying that houses along the first ring road would go up in price by at least 30%.. is that true? do u see potential?? lucky bastards!
you think this is the best thing the local goverment did in terms of website!
did you check the civil service commission site? you can even check how many sick days you used in you’re work not to mention even applying for one without even going to work among other interactive services, and you think this is the best site! give me a break!
What they fail to mention on this site regarding this project is:
1) How many more of the few remaining old historic buildings on the yet-to-be-completed northern route of the 1st ring road will be torn down.
2) How many more archaeological sites will be destroyed upon excavation for the construction of their “trough section”.
For the sake of our history and heritage, I sincerely hope I am wrong in my assumptions, and hope that they have taken these issues into consideration. But endless numbers of previous projects in the city centre since the 1950s have actually proven otherwise. Who ever heard of building a highway right through the middle of a city? If only they had stuck to the original planning schemes of the 50s and 60s instead of turning the city into a free-for-all, we wouldn’t have the congestion problems we have now.
hmm.. i thought the website was good, can’t see whats bad about. The interface is also pretty much close to your blog.
I like the way your pic has all the cars in their lanes, with a suitable space in-between, and no-one trying to rapidly cut across 3 lanes to get to Lorenzo’s in a hurry.
Where’s this fantasy world??
very nice sitethey have.. good job MPW.. and mooch.. LOOOLLL specially at the 1st ring road
moocherx: haha good point! The Matrix perhaps?
That’s a pretty good looking road there; should make those late-night drives through Kuwait a lot more interesting.
