A new underpass, which is part of the East Street 33 Interchange on Rawdat Al Khail Street Extension project (Doha-Industrial Area Road), will open for traffic on June 1 , the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced.
Located at the intersection of East Industrial Street and Industrial Area Road, the one-km long underpass will have three lanes in each direction.
Combined with the flyover which recently opened at the same interchange, road users will enjoy the free flow of traffic between Doha and Industrial Area.
Ashghal is in the final stages of the construction of an signal intersection which will enable multiple traffic flow movement.
The signal-conteolled intersection is the final phase of the East Street 33 Interchange, scheduled to be completed in July. Until then, some traffic movement will be restricted.
Road users are being advised to follow diversion signage and routes (as shown on the map), and abide by the 50kph speed limit to ensure their safety.
The opening of the underpass marks the completion of a key component of the three-level East Street 33 Interchange, one of five multi-level interchanges of Rawdat Al Khail Project.
The three-level East Street 33 interchange with its new flyover and underpass will significantly ease traffic congestion in the area, with a large number of motorists accessing commercial and residential properties.
The complete delivery of the project will also enhance transit times and improve road safety.
