The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the completion of construction works at Wadi Al-Banat Junction, as part of the Roads Improvement Works for Roads and Junctions in Various Areas of Greater Doha Project, Phase 7.
Engineer Fahad Mohammad Al Otaibi, head of Western Area Section at the Roads Projects Department in Ashghal, said: “This recently constructed junction is highly important as it connects Al-Khor Road with Al-Shamal Road on one hand, and provides a link between Al-Ebb, Leabaib and Al-Kheesa areas on the other hand. It also connects these three areas with Jeryan Nejaima area to the South.”
He added, “The junction comprises three lanes in each direction to continue straight and three other lanes to turn left in all directions. Development works involved road works at a total length of 2.3 kilometres and the construction of a 1.5-kilometre service road serving residential areas at the southern side of the junction.
“In addition, the scope of works also involved the construction of 5.3 kilometres of stormwater drainage network lines at a depth of 32 metres using micro-tunnelling method, an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), an irrigation network of 3.8 kilometres, electric cables as well as installation of traffic signals and 120 lighting poles.”
Eng Otaibi said Ashghal opened the junction and the completed roads in all directions, except for the northbound direction towards Rawdat Al-Hamama area, to allow for the ongoing road works near Al-Khor Expressway, which are being carried out by Ashghal as part of its highways projects.
Ashghal has carried out Road Improvement Works for Roads and Junctions in Greater Doha (Phase 7) through Al-Jaber Hadeed Company, a local company and under the supervision of Gulf Engineering and Industrial Consultancy (GEIC). Priority was given to procuring local components as 85 percent of the project materials were from local sources.
