Projects Brief:

The Caltex intersection is a vital and strategic traffic node in Aden which links to the following areas: (1) the container port and free port to the south (2) Little Aden and expansion areas to the west, (3) the crowded commercial and transport areas of Al Mansoura and Sheikh Othman to the north, and (4) Khormaksar, the airport, Crater, Maala, and Tawahi to the south. The vital importance of this intersection in the future can be seen by reviewing the Revised Master Plan for Aden.

Presently the intersection experiences congestion at peak hours and traffic conflicts which cause accidents. Truck, container trailers, and other heavy vehicles are common, mixed in with commuter traffic. The roundabout is not designed with current traffic flows and types in mind. On the positive side, there is ample vacant public owned land and generous medians surrounding the roundabout, especially on the south side, which allows for solutions which do not require any relocation or resettlement.

Scope of services:

Complete study and design services including conceptual, preliminary to final design.
