The reopening of the street marks the completion of an important project to develop the roads surrounding Internal Security forces (ISF) camp in Al Duhail from the north, east and south to accommodate traffic movement in the area, in addition to constructing and developing five intersections, Ashghal has pointed out.
The project comprises a wide range of infrastructure development works in the area. It included works to widen the roads and increasing the number of lanes, providing service roads, car parking areas, and a surface water drainage system (for storm water).
This is in addition to implementing micro-tunneling works for drainage networks and providing utility infrastructure for electricity and communications as well as an Intelligent Transport Systems and other works.
A large part of the project’s main works has been completed until now. At the beginning of 2016, Lebaib Roundabout was converted to a signalised intersection in addition to converting Jeryan Nejaima Roundabout, near the College of North Atlantic - Qatar to a signalised intersection.
In July last year, Ashghal opened the Arab League Street, which formed a main part of the project. In addition, works on Duhail Street were completed in the direction from Jeryan Nejaima Intersection to Al Shamal Road to increase the number of lanes to three lanes, in mid-December 2016.
Currently, micro-tunneling works of a sewage network in Duhail Street are underway. The project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of this year.
Tarfa Street is reopened for traffic
Traffic movement through Al Tarfa Street resumed completely in the early hours of Sunday. This was after completing works of laying the final asphalt course, which began two days ago.
