Qatar opens new Izghawa Interchange bridge

DOHA, July 2, 2016

Qatar's Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has opened a new bridge to traffic for commuters heading to Doha via the North Road Corridor. The new bridge is located at Izghawa Interchange, as an integrated part of North Road Enhancement Project.

Izghawa Interchange and its surroundings witness large-scale reconfigurations to create better road access; and approximately 80 per cent of the works at the site are completed.

The bridge acts as a key connection that would enhance traffic flow for motorists coming from Duhail area and the north side of Qatar University, said a statement from Ashghal.

On completion of the construction, the Izghawa Interchange will provide better access to local roads as well as alleviate traffic congestions at the north side of Doha Golf Club, West Bay, Luqtifia, Al Khor Coastal Road, and the northwestern side of Lusail Development Project

Also, the intersection will be adding additional local access roads to serve smooth flowing traffic into Al Gharrafa, the southwestern side of the Education City, Al Kharaytiat and Umm Salal Muhammad in the northwestern side.

It is also worth noting that the contractor of the North Road enhancement project has achieved 10 million man hours without Loss Time Injury.

The project encompasses the construction of service roads along the North Road Road from north of Doha city at Al Duhail Interchange to Al Shamal city north of Qatar.

It also includes the construction of two new interchanges in Izghawa and Umm Salal Mohammed areas, in addition to improvements to three existing interchanges, including Al Kaaban Interchange which connects to Al Huwailah Link Road.-TradeArabia News Service
