The project included building 4.5km-long permanent roads with one lane in each direction to replace the unpaved temporary roads in the residential area between Legtaifiya Street and University Street.
The project also included improving lighting in both directions and enhancing traffic flow and reducing travel time for road users. Pedestrian crossings were also added apart from beautification works.
Infrastructure development works also took place in Block 2500 to serve business owners, residents and visitors to the area. This is in addition to a number of public and government utilities, including the building of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education which is currently under construction and will take up a big area in the south of the project.
The project area was suffering from problems arising from the overflow of surface and ground water. However these were sorted out by providing an advanced drainage network.
Qatar Buildings Company implemented the project at a cost of about QR60mn.
The project was a major one under the Ashghal’s Roads and Integrated Infrastructure Projects for Local Areas.
