The Corniche Street Development Project, being carried out by the Public Works Authority (Ashghal), is progressing in full swing. Ashghal has announced a temporary traffic closure on both directions of Corniche Street beginning from 12am on August 6 until 5am on August 10. The diversion in coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic aims to facilitate completion of some construction works of the project.
The diversion includes closure of Corniche Street and parts of some surrounding streets around Al Bidda Park, Al Diwan Street, Al Rumaila Street, Grand Hamad Street (Banks’ Street) and Mohammed bin Thani Street. However, pedestrians shall be allowed to use the closed roads, in addition to use of public transportation as an alternative to private vehicles.
The development works include completion of implementing four pedestrian tunnels. These tunnels aim to enhance pedestrian traffic and connect the paths to the neighborhoods. The construction works also include three plazas on the Corniche including Al Dafna Plaza, Corniche Plaza and Al Bidda Plaza in addition to studying some infrastructure development works in public utility service.
There are seven stations of Doha Metro along Corniche Street including QNCC, West Bay, Corniche, Al Bidda, Souq Waqif, Msheireb, and Qatar National Museum. Additionally, there are six public transport bus stations at various locations including stations beside Dafna Park, City Centre, QNCC Metro Station, Hotel Park, Doha Fishing Port, and Souq Waqif Metro.
The public transport buses will operate at intervals of every 10-15 minutes while providing transportation for nine hours on Friday from 2pm to 11.59pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 6am to 11pm. The buses will operate in parallel with Metro operating hours except on Friday on which operation of Doha Metro will be suspended.
Ashghal will respond to any inquiries through Ashghal Call Center on #188, operating 24/7 or through Ashghal’s official social media channels.
