Doha: The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ announces the readiness of roads leading to Lusail Stadium to welcome fans of Lusail Super Cup and FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Lusail Stadium, with the largest capacity among all FIFA World Cup stadiums, is hosting Lusail Super Cup match on Friday, September 9, 2022.
The journey to Lusail Stadium begins through the Al Khor expressway, and from the South where the gate of Lusail expressway is decorated with iconic 5/6 arches. For those coming from Doha South and other areas of Doha, Al Majd road is considered the ideal strategic road to connect Lusail Stadium with more than 30 residential areas.
Ashghal’s role went beyond constructing roads that connect areas together, as the scope of work extended to the construction of an advanced network of pedestrian and cycling paths, in an effort to create a healthy lifestyle and to connect nearby residential areas to the stadium and the most important leisure attractions and facilities. The most vital of which is the Olympic track that extends for 33km along Al Khor road. With the opening of 5/6 Park on Lusail road, the public has a place to enjoy their time near Katara, the Pearl, and Lusail.
Al Khor Expressway is a direct way to Lusail Stadium with its car parking area in both directions. The expressway is 33km long and contains 10 interchanges. It is considered a vital connection point to link Northern and Eastern areas with Doha city, in addition to around 20 residential areas such as Simaisma, Umm Qarn, Tinbak, Wadi Al Banat, Rawdat Al Hamama, Lusail, the Pearl, Legtaifiya, Al Tarfa, and others.
Al Majd Road is distinguished as a highway consisting of 7 lanes in each direction, between Mesaieed, Al Khor and Lusail. The 130km long road has the capacity to accommodate more than 14,000 vehicles per hour. The road includes 18 interchanges to provide traffic flow between Southern and Northern Qatar without passing inside Doha city, which reduces the travel time to more than 50%.
Lusail Expressway is located in a vital area that links Doha to Lusail City and includes various public destinations such as the Pearl, Katara and Diplomatic Zone, in addition to a large number of residential neighbourhoods, hotels and commercial centres.
Ashghal and the Supervising Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places in Qatar, in cooperation with the relevant entities, led by the Ministry of Municipality, made a great effort to increase the green areas as part of the beautification works, in addition to shading pedestrian and cycling paths and sitting areas.
