Doha: Four new underpass have been added along the Corniche waterfront for ease of access and to enhance movement of pedestrians, said an official.
Engineer Laila Jassim Salem, project design manager at the Supervisory Committee of Beautification of Roads and Public Places in Qatar said that to enhance the movement of people and ease their access to the waterfront, four underpass have been prepared to ensure that pedestrians reach the waterfront without crossing the road.
Speaking to Qatar Radio, she pointed out that these subways include Al Dafna Tunnel, Corniche Station Tunnel and West Bay Station Tunnel, in addition to the Museum of Islamic Art Tunnel.
She explained that the aim of this is to enhance the movement of pedestrians and connect the paths with the neighbouring places. Also footpaths and crossings for pedestrians and bicycles have been provided.
It has also established an integrated network that includes pedestrian and bicycle paths, allowing visitors to stop at Souq Waqif and move through underpass that allow them to visit the Museum of Islamic Art.
The official added that the old Doha area has been made into a new tourist destination and designed it as a recreational outlet, where new yards were added, taking into account the identity of the old area.
