BAGHDAD - Iraq plans to build a subway in Baghdad to help cut pollution and ease traffic on the city's chronically clogged streets.
Baghdad Mayor Sabir al-Issawi said in statement released Monday that Iraq's cabinet has earmarked $3.7 billion Cdn for the project.
The subway is the first in Baghdad and will have two lines.
One would run 18 kilometres from Shiite-dominated Sadr City in the east to the predominantly Sunni neighbourhood of Azamiyah in northern Baghdad.
The second line would be cover 20 kilometres and link the mixed neighbourhoods of central Baghdad to the primarily Sunni western suburbs.
Both lines will have 20 stations.
