New phase of Dukhan Highway Central open to traffic

Have you been frustrated with all the construction work going on in the Dukhan Highway? Chances are you will feel a little less frustrated now as Ashghal has opened a new stretch of Dukhan Highway Central to traffic in both directions.

The opening of the road is expected to provide a vastly more efficient and safe transit between Doha and Al Shahaniya, according to Gulf Times.

The 3.3km stretch of road is located between the Temporary Truck Route and Al Wajbah Interchange.

The new phase passes under the bridges of Al Jahhaniya Interchange and the Orbital Highway, and it will allow road users to shift from temporary local roads and service roads to four free-flowing traffic lanes on the Dukhan Highway.

Upon the completion of this four-level interchange by the end of this year, road users will be connected to local residential and business properties, as well as Al Rayyan Stadium which will host 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Ashghal has advised a temporary speed limit of 80kmph to be implemented on the newly opened phase, "given that construction works are still in progress on other sections of the Dukhan Highway and the nearby New Orbital Highway and Truck Route".

The Dukhan Highway Central, which forms a key part of Ashghal’s expressway upgrade scheme in Qatar, will establish a 15km highway from the west of Doha to Al Shahaniya and other key public venues.

The Dukhan Highway Central replaces parts of the old Dukhan Highway which consisted of two lanes in each direction, which had resulted in traffic congestion and accidents.

dear Lucky,

You are looking to the empty part of the glass,

Both names of the company are valid - main name and off shore name.

The Contractor is Consolidated Contractors Company (not Consolidated Contractors Group) and they are way behind the schedule ;)

I am surprised that the Employee with 10 years in the company does not even know what the company's correct name is ;))))))))))))
