Mesaimeer tunnel approaches halfway point
12 January 2015QATAR - Almost 50 per cent of works on the first phase of the Mesaimeer tunnel project in Doha have been completed, according to local media. The project will discharge surface and groundwater into the sea once it has been completed.
The current phase of the 9.5km project will complete in Q3 2015 and the USD 120M project by the first quarter of 2017.
The main tunnel will run along F-Ring Road from the Mesaimeer roundabout (Woqod petrol station) and reach the sea to the south of Hamad International Airport, according to the report.
Flooding in parts of the Salwa Road following heavy rainfall in March was attributed to the lack of an outlet to dispose of the excess water that had accumulated in the drainage system.
