Road connecting Qatar University Metro Station, entrances to Golf Intersection opens

The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has opened a new road connecting Qatar University (QU) Metro Station and university entrances to Al Tarfa Intersection (known as Golf Intersection).

In a Twitter post, Ashghal stated that the opening comes as part of its efforts to strengthen the interconnection between the road network and the rail network as well as enhancing traffic flow around the QU campus.

Completed works included the provision of street lighting systems, road marking and signs as well as stormwater and irrigation lines.

To encourage a healthy lifestyle for all citizens and residents, a 2.5-km shared pedestrian and cycle path along with 151 trees and a 7,000 sqm of green areas were also provided.

Today, Ashghal focuses on developing infrastructure that cultivates sport culture by implementing a connected and safe network of cycling paths, aiming to change the lifestyle of people by adopting healthy mobility means and exercises.

Ashghal is currently working to set up a network of cycling and pedestrian paths of about 2,650km by the year 2022.
