The Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor has witnessed several openings since its inception in 2019, more than 70 percent of the vital road works have been completed and upon completion it will link the south and north parts of Doha without the need to pass through Doha Expressway and 22 February Street.
For his part, Engineer Abdulla al Naimi from the Highway Projects Department said Bu Hamour Bridge has been designed and built according to the latest technologies used in constructing bridges, through the installation and assembly of pre-casted concrete parts, using giant cranes, especially since the bridge consists of 100 concrete pieces, each weighing about 200 tonnes each.
Nuaimi said the bridge will reduce the travel time by more than 90 percent for commuters from Mesaimeer Bridge in the direction of Halul Intersection and vice versa.
In order to enable completion of remaining works of the bridge, Ashghal temporarily closed the traffic on the signalised junction between Al Shehaimiya Street and Bu Hamour Street while maintaining right turns open from all direction in addition to free flow traffic along Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor for two months.
