MP Sajih Attieh <a href=\"https:\/\/today.lorientlejour.com\/article\/1474480\/sajih-attieh-announces-40m-for-widening-jounieh-highway.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> the Public Works Ministry secured funding for expropriations and expansion. He described the project as a needed step to tackle daily gridlock.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, coverage from local broadcasters echoed the funding details and scope. The ministry expects work to start soon at the Beirut entrance to Jounieh. Studies are reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lbcgroup.tv\/news\/lebanon-news\/873999\/lebanese-parliament-committee-secures-40-million-for-road-expansions-a\/en?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete<\/a>, paving the way for land acquisitions and construction.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNv1AkQWDRy\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearing illegal obstacles helps reopen shoulders and sidewalks now. It also prepares corridors for crews and equipment once expansion begins. Stricter enforcement is coming around ramps, service roads, and storefronts, along with towing and removal of lane-blocking structures.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, expansion alone won\u2019t fix everything. Commuters still need reliable alternatives during works. Officials referenced broader transport measures alongside the widening plan. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll watch for bus lanes, better crossings, and clearer signage as works roll out.
