Duhail Interchange Upgrade Project

Brief description

​The Duhail Interchange Upgrade project consists of a three-level interchange including two (2) new bridges and 3.3 kilometre of main carriageway valued at approximately QAR800 million. 

The new bridges will deliver four (4) lanes in each direction providing free-flow connectivity from Al Shamal Road towards Doha and Al Khafji Street towards Al Gharrafa Street.

A new signalised junction under Al Shamal Bridge will replace Duhail Roundabout and facilitate the movements that were once possible at Sheikh Faisal Roundabout.

In addition, the project will construct an underpass which will allow road users to exit Al Shamal Road on to the service roads to access the nearby malls. It will also serve as the connection from Al Gharrafa Street towards Al Shamal and Sabah Al Ahmad corridor.
A total of 5.5 kilometres of pedestrian and cycle paths will be constructed parallel to the main carriageway along Duhail and Gharrafa areas and Al Shamal Road.

Benefits

​The upgraded interchange will deliver free flow traffic movement and reduced journey times for road users on Al Shamal road and between Al Khafji street and Al Gharrafa street while the provision of the 3 new lanes on Duhail Al Gharrafa bridge will increase vehicle capacity and reduce the congestion and the journey time between Al Khafji street and Al Gharrafa street by 95%. Roads on the surrounding network will simultaneously benefit from improved traffic flow.

The dedicated pedestrian and cycle paths will offer an alternative travel option for the public while promoting health and wellbeing.
