The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the opening of an approximately 2.5km northbound service road of East Industrial Road located between East Street 33 Interchange and Aba Al Seleel Interchange.

The opening will facilitate traffic for road users heading to Asian Town/Labour City and the surrounding facilities through the connection between the new northbound service road and Street 1110, Ashghal tweeted on Sunday.

The new service road will provide a direct connection with East Industrial Street and East Street 33 Interchange, leading to Street 33 and the Industrial Area, according to the authority.

In December 2019, Ashghal opened the main road of the East Industrial Street Extension project that includes the second-longest bridge in Qatar. The road was opened two months ahead of schedule, while the rest of the project is being implemented and will be opened in phases.

The project will be fully opened by the end of the second quarter of 2020, Ashghal said.

The complete project includes three signallised intersections, service roads, pedestrian tunnels and cycle paths.

The carriageway opened in December is located between East Street 33 Interchange on Industrial Area Road and Aba Al Seleel Interchange on G-Ring Road. It provides free-flowing traffic between Hamad Port Road, G-Ring Road, Industrial Area Road, Salwa Road and Al Furousiya Street.

Further, the carriageway is considered to be a vital link between Mesaieed, Al Wakra and Al Wukair, and helps traffic from the Industrial Area, Salwa Road and Al Furousiya Street directly reach Al Rayyan and Al Gharrafa.
