About 70 per cent of flyover and underpasses work at Al Shamal in Doha has been completed,  said a report.

The construction companies implementing the development project said it will be finished by the middle of next year, said the Peninsula report.

The flyovers' bases are in place and asphalting of the roads has begun, it said.

The construction of service roads vital to Al Shamal Road, which is used by heavy trucks, has also started. The project includes building service points and petrol stations on both sides of the road.
