Qatar’s Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has invited firms to bid for a contract to upgrade the Al-Furousiya Street in Rayyan Municipality, located to the west of the capital Doha.

The road is estimated to extend 7.8km.

The project aims to convert the street into four lanes, which would entail the following changes:

• construction of a four-arm signalised intersection on Al-Waab Street with Al-Furousiya Street
• converting the Al-Furousiya roundabout to four-arm signalised intersection
• converting the Al-Muaither N Roundabout to three-arm signalised intersection

The project will include site clearance, storm water drainage system, treated sewage effluent (TSE), earthworks, pavement construction, paving blocks and kerbing works, traffic signs and road markings, street lighting, traffic signals, intelligent transport systems (ITS), landscaping and irrigation and utility works.

The deadline for the submission of offers is on 27 September.

The project is to be executed within 540 calendar days and includes the standard 400-day maintenance period for road projects in Qatar following the completion of the project.
