Equipped with elevators on both sides, 8 pedestrian bridges accommodate a large number of users including those with special needs.
In connection with the project Doha Expressway, Dissing+Weitling was approached by Parsons Brinkerhoff (today WSP) in order to assist them in creating a design system for pedestrian bridges. In addition to facilitating the easy access of pedestrians to residential and commercial facilities adjacent to E-Ring, the Doha Pedestrian Bridges aim to enhance the traffic safety and enable pedestrians to cross roads safely, which are characterised by heavy traffic movement.
The bridges are covered due to the high temperatures under the desert sun, while the design system ensures that the bridges are seamlessly integrated at the different locations.
