Civil Society Activist Karim Arfa Inaugurates Bridge in Rural Siliana

Civil society activist Karim Arfa inaugurated Bridge No. 11 in a rural area of the El Krib delegation, under the governorate of Siliana, on Tuesday.

Key Features of the Bridge

  • Length: 21 meters
  • Construction time: 45 days The structure was built to facilitate the movement of residents, particularly students. During the winter season, crossing the wadis (rivers) posed a major obstacle, preventing several children from accessing their schools and sometimes leading to their dropout.

Impact on the Local Community

According to Karim Arfa, the residents of the region had requested the construction of this infrastructure, which has become essential for opening up the locality. The project has generated great satisfaction among the affected families and students. However, Arfa noted that many areas in the Northwest remain deprived of this type of infrastructure, calling for the construction of new bridges to ensure better connectivity and improve the living conditions of residents.
