Keeping its tradition of delivering mega development projects within stipulated time alive, the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has now completed 72% of the development works on Umm Lekhba Interchange within the work of Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor project.
Like the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (SC) which has delivered a number of 2022 FIFA World Cup stadiums well in time, Ashghal is also fast completing different mega road projects linked to Qatar 2022.
Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor will also facilitate access to most of the World Cup FIFA 2022 stadiums including Ras Bu Abboud, Al Thumama, Al Wakra, Khalifa International and Qatar Foundation Stadiums.
Recently, the Public Works Authority also opened Ras Al Noof Interchange and Tinbak Interchange, as part of Al Khor Road project. The new interchanges are located in the north of Al Khor Road, serving many residential areas, vital facilities, economic, sports and leisure activities, such as Ras Laffan, Ras Al Noof and Tinbak, as well as Al Bayt Stadium.
In March, Ashghal opened the 33-kilometer-long main road of Al Khor Road after successfully converting the old road into a highway from Al Khor Road in Al Khor to Qatar University Street in Doha.
The opening of Al Majd Road almost seven months ago has significantly contributed in linking the traffic coming from Al Khor Road and vice versa especially that Al Majd Road intersects with all other arterial roads in the country such as Al Shamal Road, Dukhan Road, Salwa Road to Mesaieed Road.
At the same time, Ashghal is fast completing the B-Ring Road Development project. It aims to develop the B-Ring Road and Al Khaleej Street, with a total length of 10km, and enhance their capacity by increasing the number of lanes on each of them from two to three lanes in each direction.
The project also includes providing several elements that will increase the traffic safety in the area, such as providing two pedestrian bridges with elevators on Al Khaleej Street, as well as cycle and pedestrian lanes, road signs and road markings, and new street lighting.
Ashghal is winning accolade in the region and beyond for its quality work. Recently, Ashghal’s Main Trunk Sewer (MTS) Project in Doha South achieved the Civil Engineering Environmental Quality Assessment and Award Scheme (CEEQUAL) ‘Good Rating’ and became the first and only project in the region to obtain the CEEQUAL Design and Build Award.
In July this year, Ashghal, represented by the Information Systems Department and the Engineering Services Department, won the GIS Excellence Award for the use of GIS technology in Moazanah Program on the sidelines of the Esri Global User Conference 2019 held in San Diego.
