Al Wakra
The Al Watiyyat Interchange will be completed in the first quarter of 2019, according to the Public Works Authority (Ashghal). Once completed, it will help facilitate the commute of fans between Al Wakra, Ras Bu Aboud and Al Thumama stadiums during the 2022 Fifa World Cup (WC).
Besides, it will provide a strategic link between major ring roads and expressways in the country, such as the E Ring Road, F Ring Road, G Ring Road, Doha Expressway, the southern part of Doha Express Highway, Industrial Area Road and Rawdat Al Khail Street.
The interchange, which will reduce travel time by 40 to 60 percent, will be a strategic link connecting the southern part of the Doha Express Highway with the main Doha Expressway and 22 February Street. It will provide connectivity between northern and southern areas of the country via Doha. The interchange is part of the infrastructure being developed for the 2022 WC. It will primarily serve Al Thumama stadium as it will provide pedestrian and cyclists with two bridges and six underpasses for safe access to the stadium.
Some sections of the Al Watiyyat Interchange opened more than six months ahead of schedule. Few roads connecting to the interchange will remain closed until the opening of the newly constructed interchange of the E Ring Road project in 2020.
The interchange, which comprises three main bridges and four vehicular underpasses, will serve residential areas such as Al Thumama, Mesaimeer, Bu Hamour, Nuaija, Al Wakra and Al Wukair.
It will also facilitate traffic movement and provide direct access to the Hamad International Airport. The interchange will ease traffic flow from the north via Doha Expressway and heading to southern areas through the southern part of Doha Express Highway or to Hamad International Airport and Bu Hamour area via the F Ring Road. The interchange will reduce commute time by up to 60 percent to the adjacent roads such as Al Najma Street, Airport Road and Al Wakra Main Road.
