1354 Qatar's Public Work Authority is opening the tender process for two key infrastructure projects, with a major focus on highway construction. These tenders include the F-Ring Road project. In all a total of US$20 billion has been allocated by the country's authorities for infrastructure work and this will concentrate on road and drainage projects. This budget is for work to be carried out over the coming five years.

Qatar has plans to construct a new subsea tunnel that will connect West Bay and Lusail with the new airport in Doha. The 12km road project will involve an investment of over $1 billion. Work on the airport is due for completion in 2011. A feasibility study for the tunnel has been made by Denmark-based 2349 COWI, which is awaiting approval from the government of Qatar for its preliminary concept design.

Meanwhile, some $20 billion is being budgeted by Qatar for road projects during the following five years. And the 2351 Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning of Qatar will undertake a project worth $24 million to rehabilitate interior roads in seven districts of Al Khor, Al Shamal, Daain, Dakheera, Doha, Rayyan and Wakra.
