The Supervisory Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places in Qatar announced the completion of Dukhan Road beautification works from Al Wajba Interchange to Al Sheehaniya Interchange.
The beautification process included the process of connecting the pedestrian and cycling paths from Al Seej Area to the pedestrian path in Al Riffa Street, from umm leghab to Al Sheehaniya Interchange and from it to the roundabout leading to Camel Racing track Area and Al Wajba Interchange. In addition to this, trees were planted alongside the road and the median 3kms in length in Al Wajba Area and through Al Wajba Interchange. This was done in continuation of the committee’s plan to beautify several roads in the country, to create healthier, and more sustainable environment. This would enhance life quality and develop the civilized scene in different areas of the country.
In turn, the beautification of Dukhan Road plays a vital role that contributes to the increase in green spaces share per capita, to increase their percentage in the region, to reducing the temperature and improving air quality. It also acts as windbreaks that trigger sand and dust during the summer months, thus promoting a healthy lifestyle by increasing the convenience of exercising in a healthy and safe environment. Moreover, it creates an aesthetic and civilized imprint on the road, which makes the lives of drivers and pedestrians much safer and enjoyable."
The total length of the project is 15,800 m, and the beautification works are considered to be a great addition to the project’s site. The Dukhan Road is one of the vital roads that serve road users of Ahmed Bin Ali stadium, one of the stadium that will host the 2022 World Cup and the rest of commercial and residential facilities in the region.
