Al Wajbah underpass now open
The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the completion of the new Al Wajbah underpass, which is part of the newly constructed Al Wajbah interchange of the Dukhan Highway Central expressway project.
Two lanes in each direction will be opened through the Al Wajbah underpass to allow traffic coming from Dukhan to travel towards Doha in one direction and from Bani Hajer roundabout towards Dukhan in the other, instead of using the traffic diversion implemented during construction.
The opening of the new Al Wajbah interchange will be carried out in stages with the underpass open to traffic in the first stage. This will be followed by the overbridge roundabout of the new Al Wajbah interchange, which is expected to be opened for traffic within the next few weeks.
The Dukhan Highway Central project includes the construction of 15km of a new highway starting from west of the existing Al Wajbah interchange and ending east of the town of Al Sheehaniya.
The project is part of Ashghal’s Expressway Programme that will provide vital highway links across Qatar, connecting key cities, towns and villages.
Delivering more than 34 major projects with over 980km of new roads, multi-level interchanges, an array of underpasses and flyovers, the programme will enable free-flowing traffic and improved journey times to meet the social and economic development and future needs of Qatar.
