Upgrade of Al Rayyan Jassim Bin Mohammed Street

Brief description
As part of the Expressway Programme, the Al Rayyan/Jassim Bin Mohammed Street project comprises the construction and upgrade of 1.5 km of carriageway (two lanes in each direction) of Al Rayyan Road between Al Diwan Street and Jassim Bin Mohammed Street tying into the Souk Waqif access with two-lane traffic in each direction with a dividing median and turning areas at junctions. Six new traffic signal junctions will be installed. A new pedestrian underpass constructed on Jassim Bin Mohammed Street, just to the north of the Wadi Musheireb Street junction, will link Souk Waqif with Masjid Square, Heart of Doha. The new road will be paved with stone and will seamlessly integrate with the Musheireb Heart of Doha development that it encircles.
Both motorists and pedestrians will benefit from the project which involves upgrading approximately 1.8 km of Al Rayyan Road between Al Diwan Street and Jassim Bin Mohammed Street, and providing enhanced access to the Souk Waqif shopping district.
Benefits
This project will give Al Rayyan Road and Jassim Bin Mohammed Streets a stylish facelift.
The existing road and footways will be reconstructed and paved with high quality granite stones to create a unique setting that will seamlessly integrate with the Musheireb, Heart of Doha development that it encircles.
 
The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ has worked closely with Musheireb Properties and the Private Engineering Office to ensure that the upgrade of Al Rayyan Road and Jassim Bin Mohammed Street fits with the overall vision for the exciting future redevelopment of downtown Doha.
