Delivering world class road infrastructure

Ongoing road projects in the GCC are worth approximately US $18 billion - Qatar amounts for 22% of these projects. Including the estimated value of projects announced for 2011 - 2015, the total GCC spending amounts to $58 billion, with Qatar allocating approximately US $12.5 billion on improving and creating road networks. Over 29 road projects have been announced for Qatar worth over US $9.5 million, excluding projects in execution. Qatar is set to take-over the rest of the GCC countries in terms of planned investments.

Qatar’s ongoing major road projects include: Lusail Expressway Package 2, Orbital Highway and Truck Road, Ras Laffan to Mesaieed Expressway, Dukhan Highway, Doha Bay Crossing , Road Interchanges for the Al Khor Expressway and Doha Expressway – Qatar’s first freeway. Between 2013 – 2015 Qatar will be selecting contractors to complete the remaining phases of the US $4 billion Doha Expressway programme. Building on the success of this event, IQPC have already set the dates for the 3rd Annual Road Planning, Design and Construction Middle East series for 3 – 6 March 2013 to provide you with an excellent opportunity to stay up-to-date with the latest tender announcements, ongoing projects and position yourself as leading solution provider in the market in front of key decision-makers.
