The dreaded TV Roundabout, which used to be a huge bottleneck very near the heart of Doha City, will finally cease to be so.

This is because Ashghal has transformed it into a signalled intersection and thrown it open to traffic, reported Gulf Times.   

The signalled intersection at the newly redeveloped Ali bin Abi Talib Street in New Slata is expected to ease traffic congestion in the busy area to a huge degree. 

“Ashghal is committed to open a number of important projects ahead of Eid Al Adha and the beginning of the new academic year in order to reduce congestion and ease traffic,” said Ashghal senior engineer and road projects manager Saoud Ali Al Tamimi told The Peninsula, during the inauguration.
