the new main Al Wakra road between the Toyota and Ooredoo roundabouts will open in the first quarter of 2019, Captain Mohammed Misfer al Hajri, head of Traffic Planning at the General Directorate of Traffic, has said.
The road's opening will be accompanied by the completion of the railway tunnel on the Toyota Roundabout as well.
Captain Hajri said the roundabouts would be converted into a signal intersection for smooth flow of traffic.
Captain Hajri also revealed a map showing the road projects in Al Wakra, such as a new main road that connects Al Wakra Hospital with the Al Wakra City Centre as well as roads leading to the Al Wakra Stadium which are designed to ease traffic in the area.
On a related topic, Capt Hajri said a new road parallel to the main road in Al Wakra would be opened in July this year.
He said they are cooperating with the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) to develop the streets around Al Wakra Stadium and Al Wukair area.
According to him, the first part of the road between Barwa City and Al Wukair will be opened soon.
Central Municipal Council Member from Al Wakra Nasser al Khater said the street projects in the area serving 480 homes were accomplished last April.
