Qatar’s massive transport infrastructure plan

Qatar is planning a major programme of transport infrastructure development. Worth nearly US$6 billion, the plans will see just over half of the budget ($3.04 billion) being targeted at expressway construction. Meanwhile a further $2.5 billion will be used to improve Qatar’s network of trunk roads and minor roads, as well as to construct new connections. The remaining portion of the budget will include paying for new minor bridge works, underpasses and overpasses.
