This, he pointed out, will provide infrastructure services for around 250 citizen plots, in addition to five residential complexes in the area comprising more than 900 residential units. Al-Shaibani added that the project will contribute to improving traffic flow and enhancing connectivity to vital facilities by developing main and vital streets in the two areas, such as Al Furousiya Street, Al Hasbaa Street, Khor Hassan Street, Ras Laffan Street, Salah Al Din Street, Lesweihliya Street, Tuwar Al Heraithi Street, and Al Talha Street.

It also includes the implementation of 16km of pedestrian and cycle paths, all aimed at improving road safety and facilitating mobility for road users. The project also includes the development of infrastructure service networks, including 8 km of rainwater drainage networks, over 10km of TSE networks, and around 4 km of sewage networks. As for the current works, backfilling and rehabilitation work is underway on Lesweihliya Street and Khor Hassan Street, following the completion of the sewage network pipe installation.

These include gabbro, lighting poles and fixtures, signage, sewage and stormwater drainage pipes, asphalt, precast manholes, concrete, and reinforcing steel.
