The construction works are divided into four geographical zones which will be carried out successively. The duration of each phase will be one year. Ashghal, on its website, has said the project will be completed during the second quarter of 2024. The infrastructure services and enhanced local streets will improve the traffic flow and provide connectivity to future public facilities that will be established in the area.
The project involves developing a road network with a total length of 45.4km equipped with road safety features and street lighting as well as road signs and markings. The project also features 6,900 car parking bays.

In addition, new sewage pipelines along with a new system to ensure the flow distribution is provided and connected with Qatar’s main sewage network.
