Perhaps they wanted to pay a different contractor
didn't they just open this road???? why couldn't they make these pedestrian bridges while they were constructing and repairing these roads!! such a waste of time & money
They must provide pedestrian bridges in all strategic roads in Doha as people where tend cross the road exactly where they are standing, rather than going to the intersections with a signal which is a 200-500 meters away. Funny though that this is the only country I've noticed that no pedestrian bridges at all....(but of course not until now it will be ready for installation...... at last!)
