The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the completion of the construction of the roads surrounding the recently-opened Umm Al Juwashin Petrol Station, located on the intersection of Al-Majd Road with Dukhan Road and between Umm Al Juwashin and Umm Al Afaei Interchanges.
The 4 km roads, according to an official press statement, will provide safe access to the petrol station’s users.

Ashghal has also installed 93 street light poles and set up road markings and road signs work, in addition to interlock works. The project has also included the construction of roadside ditches for surface water drainage and a water lagoon.
