Work on the development of streets and infrastructure in the National Museum area would be completed within three months, local daily Al Arab has reported, quoting a source from the Public Works
Authority (Ashghal).
A significant portion of the project has already been completed, according to the source. This includes over 90% of work on communication lines and laying pipes for recycled sewage water as well as over 80% of tunnel-boring work for infrastructure services, the daily said.
The source said the project costs QR69mn. When completed, it would provide an integrated network of streets to ensure smooth access in the area. The streets would be connected to the neighbouring main road network as well, according to the
report.
Further, the source said streets surrounding the National Museum would be redesigned in order to improve services in the area and provide specific entry and exit points to and from the museum. These would be located at the intersection of the Corniche road with Ras Abu Aboud Street.
