The Public Work Authority ‘Ashghal’ today opened a part of the C-Ring Road to traffic, extending from Jabor Bin Ahmed Intersection (Ramada Intersection) to Al Kinana Intersection.
Fully operational to traffic, this stretch of the C-Ring Road was widened from three lanes to four lanes in each direction as part of phase four of the C-Ring Road development project, to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in this area.
Currently Ashghal is working on phase four of the C-Ring Road project, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year. As part of this phase, works are taking place on both directions of Salwa Road starting from right after Al Asiri Intersection towards Jabor Bin Ahmed Intersection (Ramada Intersection) and to The Centre Roundabout, which will be converted to a signal-controlled intersection. This phase also includes works on C-Ring Road starting from Ramada Intersection until mid-way before Rawdat Al Khail Intersection.
Ashghal is working around the clock to expedite the implementation of this phase of the C-Ring Road project. Works are taking place seven days a week, with the same number of workers working during daytime and nighttime in order to complete works by the end of December 2014 as scheduled, while all four phases of the C-Ring Road project will be completed in Q2, 2015.
