With more than 95% of the works carried out, the Khalifa Avenue Project will be completed within the current year, according to information from the Public Works Authority (Ashghal). Most parts of the project have already been opened to traffic remarkably improving vehicle movement in the project area.
The Khalifa Avenue Project connects Al Rayyan road with Dukhan Road, as well as Al Gharrafa Street, Huwar Street and Al Furousiya Street, while serving Al Rayyan, Bani Hajer, Al Gharrafa, Al Luqta and Gharrafat Al Rayyan areas. Ashghal recently announced partial opening of a new intersection and service road on Huwar Street as part of the project. The new intersection provides new entrances on Huwar Street with Al Furousiya Street and Al Luqta Street along with a new connection to Al Luqta Area and Qatar Foundation.
Ashghal has completed the asphalt works on Al Luqta Main Road, which consists of four lanes in each direction from the east of the Tilted Intersection until the west of the Al Wajbah Interchange.





Ashghal has also opened the two-way parallel service roads, which connect major facilities such as Qatar Foundation, Sidra Medicine and Qatar National Convention Centre. The authority has opened important sections of the Khalifa Avenue Project, such as the three-level Bani Hajer interchange, replacing the old roundabout. The interchange accommodates about 1,500 vehicles per hour, provides free traffic flow and is a key access to Dukhan Road, Al Luqta Street and Al Rayyan Road, as well as the residential areas around such as Bani Hajer, Al Rayyan, Gharrafat Al Rayyan and Al Gharrafa.
The Khalifa Avenue project runs from Al Wajba Palaca Interchange (west) to the Tilted Interchange (east) and it is known as Khalifa Avenue, and also along Al Gharrafa Road from Al Rayyan Street (south) to Thani Bin Jassim Street (north), and this part of the project connects with the Titled Intersection.
The project works include the construction of about 11.7km of dual carriageway with four lanes in each direction, over a length of about 7.5km, in addition to the construction of five new interchanges, including the Titled Interchange and Gharrafat Al Rayyan Interchange.
The project is being implemented using Qatari-made materials, which is a clear indication of success in facing the blockade, and also a message to the blockading countries that Qatar, under its wise leadership, is continuing to fulfil its ambitious vision and achieve sustainable development.
