The Public Works Authority Ashghal announces that H.E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, inaugurated Al Majd Road in a ceremony attended by H.E Mr. Ahmed bin Abdullah in Zaid Al Mahmoud, the Speaker of the Shura Council, a number of the Ministers, diplomatic representatives in the State of Qatar, other senior officials and representatives from the project contractors.

Al Majd Road is a vital arterial road that beats in the heart of Qatar. It flows from south of Qatar to north and east to serve current and future urban communities on either side of it. These communities will be hubs for economic, industrial and agricultural trade as well as contributing to the development of the modern state that is Qatar.

Al Majd Road, being the core of the road network in Qatar, will be a key component of the significant transformation of the land transport network. It will be indispensable in developing adjacent areas and creating new residential areas, which may lead to a radical change in Qatars’ demographic. Moreover, it will foster colossal investment opportunities, enhance existing commercial activities through the provision of direct access to Qatar’s airports, sea, and land ports.

Al Majd Road extends from Mesaieed to Al Khor and Lusail, connecting the south with the north while simultaneously facilitating connections to the west, center and east of the country via its links to several arterial and main roads that connect the State’s catchment areas.

Al Majd Road is linked to Al Wukair Road, G Ring Road, Salwa Road, Al Sailiya Road, Dukhan Road, Al Rufaa Street, Al Shamal Road to Al Khor Expressway on one end and Rass Laffan on the other.

Al Majd Road provides seven (7) lanes of free-flow dual carriageway from Mesaieed to Al Khor that will accommodate over 14,000 vehicles per hour in each direction.

Al Majd Road is considered one of the safest roads in Qatar owing to its unique and international standard design, which strategically provides two (2) dedicated truck lanes and five (5) light vehicle lanes to significantly reduce accident risks. In tandem, the truck routes will provide free flow traffic movement for the transportation of commercial and industrial goods from and to key hubs across the country.

Al Majd Road provides efficient traffic movement, which will be a key contributing factor to reducing travel time up to 50% compared to the required time for the same trip via other existing roads.
