DOHA: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) is working on several projects to develop Al Ruwais City in the north of the country to provide necessary services to residents.
A general hospital, a primary health centre, three schools and two kindergartens are among the projects. They also include the development and expansion of the port, and construction of three docks for dhows and fishing boats.
Some facilities will be built for ministries and government organisations to cater to the people so they need not come to Doha.
Separate premises will be build to serve fishermen, Al Sharq reports. Ashghal is also developing Al Shamal Road as part of expressway projects. The project includes the construction of service lanes along with Al Shamal Road starting from Doha via Al Duhayil Intersection to Al Shamal City in the northern most part of the country.
New intersections will be built at Azghawa and Umm Salal Mohammad and several will be renovated such as Al Kaaban Intersection that connects to Al Huwaila Road.
Work is in full swing to develop Al Khor Road to link it to Umm Barqa.
The projects involve more than 95km length of roads. The Peninsula
