The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has completed the upgradation of Wadi Al Ghadeeriyat Street at a total length of 1 km and constructed a 2.4-km service road for the Central Market Street to facilitate local access and regulate traffic flow around the Central Market in Bu Hamour Area, in addition to improving infrastructure utilities in the area.
The project is part of the Road Improvement Works for Junctions and Roundabouts in Various Areas of Greater Doha - Phase 5.
Eng Monira Al Mohannadi, project engineer at Ashghal Roads Projects Department’s Doha City Section, said: “The works involved the upgradation of 1 km of Wadi Al Ghadeeriyat Street and construction of a 2.4-km service road for the Central Market Street, as well as improving infrastructure services.
“The project serves several educational institutions, and the recently completed works have significantly helped facilitate traffic access in the area, not to mention the regulation of local traffic flow. We also managed to reach the targeted traffic flow in the area, which is known for its high traffic density.”
In addition to upgrading Wadi Al Ghadeeriyat Street, the project’s scope of works involved upgrading the street lighting system and the installation of new lighting poles. Local infrastructure utilities were also developed by constructing a 3-km-long surface water drainage network, a 2-km TSE network and providing protection for existing electricity lines, telecommunications cables and potable water networks.
Work is currently underway to complete landscaping on both sides of Wadi Al Ghadeeriyat Street and construction of a 2-km pedestrian and cycle paths.
It’s worth noting that other works carried out simultaneously with the Central Market service road involved the upgradation of a 2-km stromwater drainage network, a 1-km TSE network and protecting the existing power lines, telecommunications cables and potable water networks.
Eng Monira Al Mohannadi added: “In line with Ashghal’s strategy to support local manufacturers and Qatari products, and as part of ‘Ta’heel’ initiative which was launched by the authority in 2017, nearly 90 percent of the project materials were produced locally by Qatari manufacturers. These include lighting poles and luminaires, directional signs, surface water drainage pipes, asphalt, prefabricated manholes, concrete, interlock and reinforcement steel.”
