Doha: Ashghal has opened a new phase of Dukhan Highway Central to traffic in both directions.
The 3.3km phase of the road is between the Temporary Truck Route and Al Wajbah Interchange.
The new phase passes under the bridges of Al Jahhaniya Interchange and Orbital Highway, and it will allow road users to shift from temporary local and service roads to four free-flowing traffic lanes on the Dukhan Highway.
It provides more efficient and safe transit between Doha and Al Shehaniya. The newly opened phase of the project is part of Al Jahhaniya Interchange construction works.
Upon completion by the end of this year, the four-level interchange will connect road users to local residential and business properties and Al Rayyan Stadium which will host 2022 FIFA World Cup.
To ensure the safety of road users, Ashghal will implement a temporary speed limit of 80kmph on the phase, given that construction works are in progress on other sections of the Dukhan Highway and the nearby New Orbital Highway and Truck Route.
Ashghal has completed three flyovers and the road that connects Celebration Road to the Dukhan Highway earlier this yea, as part of Dukhan Highway Central project.
The Dukhan Highway Central, a key part of Ashghal’s expressway upgrade scheme, will establish a 15km highway from the west of Doha to Al Sheehaniya and other key public venues, Ashghal said in a statement yesterday.
