The first ever brige for camels in Qatar, located near Al Doosari Zoo and Game Reserve on road from Al Shahaniya leading to Leatooriya and Lijmiliya.

The project runs from central to north-west of Qatar, around 40km from Doha City, and involves two lane dual Rural Arterial road including cycle lane and footpath.

The road is approximately 29km and includes eight roundabouts and two camel crossings.

Through similar wildlife crossings, which includes the under passes and guardrails to reduce the risk of animals straying onto the roadway, Qatar strives to preserve its wildlife amid new construction projects.
