Doha: The State of Qatar completed its various major projects in the field of infrastructure in 2021, according to plans and strategies.
Infrastructure projects, the development of citizens’ lands, and public services development projects, including health and education, received priority spending, and the cost was estimated at over QR72bn.
Among the most important infrastructure projects in 2021 is the opening of the Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor, which represents an important addition to the road transport network in Qatar and a major link between the south and north of the country through the city of Doha.
All roads were also opened to traffic, as part of the fourth package of the Roads and Infrastructure Development Project in the Industrial Area in Doha, in addition to the opening of the seventh bridge at Umm Lekhba Interchange (Landmark), the second highest bridge in Qatar with a length of one kilometer within the works of the Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor project, and other similar projects.
These projects were implemented within the framework of providing an integrated infrastructure, advanced road network and service facilities throughout the country to serve the citizens and expatriates in a better way.
Qatar continues to develop the internal road network, the sewage network, and the surface water drainage network. This year, it completed the implementation of a 7.2 km long surface water drainage network. This network is connected to another network with a length of 4.4 km. The combined length of the two networks is 11.6 km, as well as the completion of 3.2 km of treated wastewater lines.
A project to rehabilitate and develop four sewage pumping stations has also been completed, in addition to completing the project to establish and operate a sewage network in the inner Doha regions (Package 1), as well as the main works to provide 2,112 plots of citizens’ lands, in the northern regions and northern Nasiriyah, with an integrated infrastructure.
