Public Works Authority (Ashghal) will divert traffic for a distance of 1 kilometre on Lijmiliya Road for two months from tomorrow to enable the construction of a final 2.3 kilometre extension of road on the Al Sheehaniya – Leatooriya – Lijmiliya Road expressway project.
The Al Sheehaniya – Leatooriya – Lijmiliya Road expressway project is a new 31 kilometre expressway that will more efficiently link the regional towns of Al Sheehaniya, Leatooriya and Lijmiliya.
Once complete, the new expressway will enhance transport efficiency in rural Qatar by providing motorists with two lanes in each direction, which is double the vehicle capacity of the previous road.
The project will simultaneously improve road safety through the installation of guard rails, street lighting and intelligent transport systems.
