Doha: Ashghal announced the opening of Al Khufous Street and the link roads to full traffic with road work of about 6.2 km completed, to connect the areas of Murraikh, Muhairja and Luaib with many vital and nearby health, educational, commercial, and sports facilities.
The Public Works Department had developed 3,700 meter long Al Khufous Street, 1500 meter long Asia Champions Street 2019 and 1,075 meter long Al Baaya Street, as well as a number of secondary streets such as Muhairja Street, Umm Al Tin Street and Al Saneea Street.
Al Khufous Street will improve the traffic movement in the area after being radically upgraded. The one-lane street has now been converted into a road of three lanes in each direction to accommodate about 10,000 vehicles per hour, reducing mobility time to more than 60%.
The opening of Al Khufous Street will ensure direct traffic movement from Al Sadd along with Doha Expressway, bypassing the parallel Al Waab Street towards Muhairja, Murraikh as well as Al Rayyan & Musaither and Al Furousiya Street.
HPD Manager Eng. Bader Drawish stated, "Al Khufous St. and link roads serve residential areas such as Murraikh, Luaib & Muhairja and provide an alternative route to Al Waab St., alleviating traffic and making easy access to sports facilities nearby like Aspire Zone and Khalifa Int’l Stadium."
