The Public Works
Authority ‘Ashghal’ opened a new unidirectional tunnel on Industrial Area Road
on Thursday 30 May 2019, providing a direct link towards Barwa City.
The two-lane new
tunnel is located between Mesaimeer Interchange and the interchange known as
Wadi Lubara on the Industrial Area Road, and extends for 670 meters. The tunnel
directly connects to Street 1115 and delivers a seamless free flowing link for
road users of the Industrial Area Road coming from Doha and heading towards
Barwa City, the Religious Complex as well as several educational and
residential facilities.
This opening provides a new travel option
that is more efficient than its former alternative as road users had to use the
interchange known as Wadi Lubara on the Industrial Area Road, turn left towards
Bu Samra Street then right to get to Street 1115 and reach Barwa City before
the opening of the tunnel. Moving forward, motorists will be able to use the
free-flowing new tunnel to reach their destinations.
