Tunnel connecting Souq Waqif and Corniche to open soon
A multi storey parking for Souq Waqif and an underground tunnel connecting the Souq with Corniche are expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year.
The multi storey parking will accommodate up to 2,000 vehicles solving the common parking problem in the area, reported Al Sharq.
Sources said that the construction project was in its final stages and that the contractors were doing final touches as well as connecting electricity.
The project included a multistorey parking, an underground pedestrian tunnel, a public park with a restaurant and children play areas. [The Peninsula]
I appreciate this project. I would like to propose the following project as well:
1. Construct Pedestrian Overhead Bridges (POB) across the Corniche Road at suitable places for the pedestrian to cross the road. Currently pedestrians are facing life threatening while crossing the road.
2. Construct sufficient number of toilets and drinking water facility at suitable places along the Corniche beach for public to use.
