Manager of Highway Projects Department Engineer Bader Darwish confirmed that the Public Works Authority Ashghal continues to work on providing an integrated road network that commensurate with Qatar National Vision 2030, indicating that the Industrial Area is among the priorities of Ashghal due to its strategic importance.
