Al Majd Road delivered 4 years before FIFA World Cup: Ashghal president

Al Majd Road, which will be the main artery of Qatar’s road network, will facilitate access to 2022 FIFA World Cup stadiums and has been delivered four years in advance, the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) top official has said.

Ashghal president Dr Saad bin Ahmed al-Mohannadi said Al Majd Road forms a major part of the integrated road network being constructed by Ashghal and will serve the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

“It provides direct connectivity to both Al Rayyan and Lusail stadiums and facilitates access to all other stadiums, namely Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Al Wakrah Stadium, Al Thumama Stadium, Ras Bu Abboud Stadium south, Education City Stadium, and Khalifa International Stadium,” al-Mohannadi said.

He also stressed that on-schedule completion of Al Majd Road, despite the unjust blockade on Qatar, proves that the country is fast progressing in delivering world-class infrastructure, which will be a key factor in achieving the required economic and sustainable development in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.

HE the Minister of Transport and Communications Jassim bin Seif al-Sulaiti said the inauguration of Al Majd Road “will be a major contributor to the country’s land transport and a boom in the internal and external trade.”

He said it will allow free-flow movement of goods and people across key access and trade points in Qatar.

Al Majd Road connects directly to Hamad Port in the south and will provide efficient access to Ras Laffan and Al Ruwais Port to the north.

It will also facilitate access to Hamad International Airport, he noted.

Al-Sulaiti said Al Majd Road serves many economic areas, such as the Industrial area, Economic Zones Company (Manateq), and the Mesaieed Industrial Area.
