And now, the works on the gate of Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him), which is one of the main entrances to the holy shrine, have finished according to what was said to the Al-Kafeel Network by the head of the Engineering Project Department at the holy shrine -the direct supervising authority on the implementation of this project- the Engineer Dea' Majeed Al-Sa'egh who, added: "the gate of Imam Al-Jawad (peace be upon him) is considered as one of the main gates that faces the north axis that is the road from Baghdad province, and it is a gate with three large arches."

It is noteworthy that the expansion project is the first of its kind since the establishment of the holy shrine with its recent design before 645 years, it is implemented and supervised by Iraqi cadres in a local company from Karbala, and overseen by the engineering projects department at the holy shrine, with a funding of the Shiite Endowment, and according to the architectural designs, the expansion project adds to the holy shrine a space of more than 10,000 m2 that is invested vertically through the construction of three-storey (basement, ground and first floor) which makes it a total space of 30,000 m2, equipped with all modern services. Building the basement next to the old fence led to the construction of a very strong concrete structure that surrounds all the parts of the external wall of the holy shrine to strengthen all its old parts.
