Traffic in Doha

Shortly after we moved to the abdul aziz area, road works started in the feruq abdul aziz main road.
My husband and I told ourselves that we the amount of labour they had working in that road, the work would be completed in a couple of weeks, one month max.

Almost a year on, the road works seem nowhere near completion. This is ridiculus and embarrasing.
Most of the time, i see about 15 labourers on the road, but I rarely see them working. Often they are just sitting, hanging around, or 14 watch while the 15th does some work. Surely there must be some kind of manager somewhere that directs these workers???? Or someone who gets a wealthy amount of money to ensure that works are completed within a reasonable time period?

Do these laborers have their needs caterered for? Do they get a fair salary, good nutricious meals, proper health care, human living conditions??? . Do they get proper training to avoid accidents such as getting buried in the holes they dig?

If the answer is no, then someone needs to address these problems beforehand, otherwise they will never perform, and roads will be closed forever.
But if their basic needs are covered, then I would be pointing my finger at a very incompetent managment. If it keeps going at this pace, Doha will look like a big messy hole by december this year.

unfortunately Qatar is trying to execute 15 years of infrastructure development in 2. Therefore, we are all going to suffer as a consequence. There are ways to maintain traffic flow whilst carrying out work but these are expensive and someone somewhere obviously thinks that our convenience isnt worth paying for.

There are more disruptions on the way and the situation is destined to get much worse before it gets any better.

I refuse to drive anywhere after sunset... its just not worth the hassle. Im seriously considering a motorbike but the way people drive, i will be dead inside a week.

One of the other problems is that there is such a shortage of labour and materials here for so much work that contractors are taking on work without adequate resources.

Excuse me,
I come from Egypt which is not considered a rich country at all,but when it comes to construction....work gets done in the shortest time...you know why??? because labours in Egypt can't afford to sit their asses on the pavement for a minute...work goes on all around the clock...never stops until the whole construction is DONE.
I live in Mansoura are here in Doha where the streets are full of holes and they are just sooooo miserable...and when the city finally decided to pave them (i wish they never did) they just made it worse...now the streets are all dug everywhere and nothing is paved and instead of hole now we got bumps that could literally crack down your car.
I just hope that someone out there who really loves this country and cares for it and at the same time has the authority to make a change..i hope this someone can do something about this huge mess.
Doha could just be paradise if this whole mess wasn't there.

Sometimes I just wonder; could money be a curse rather than being a blessing??!!!!!
May be because those contractors come to Doha thinkink it's floating on oil and gas and budgets have no limit here,may be that's why they just don't give a damn to re-do their job over and over and over and over again, while they could just do it once and for all if they have someone who cares monitor them and question their quality of work.
YOu know the whole point of "when you are rich everybody wants to take advantage of you"!!!!!!!
