The G-Ring Road is one of the key axis of Qatar's expressway network.
Being a fast road that provides an uninterrupted traffic flow, it will
have a significant positive impact on the traffic movement in the
country’s Southern areas. It will also contribute to reducing pressure
on existing roads in other areas; thus complementing the other axes of
the expressway network, of which several parts will be opened to traffic
throughout the coming months.
The G-Ring Road extends over 22
kilometres from Hamad International Airport to the Orbital Highway, and
includes five lanes in each direction and 48 km of pedestrians and
cyclists lanes, surrounded by landscaping. The total cost of the G-Ring
Road project is approximately 4 billion Qatari Riyals.
