In September 2020, Ashghal succeeded in breaking two records for the longest connected cycling path, as well as the longest piece of continuously paved asphalt on Al Khor Road.
The length of longest piece of connected asphalt pavement reaches 25. 275 km, and the longest connected cycling path with is 32.869 km long with 7 meters width.
Through Olympic Cycling Track, Ashghal aims to implement a connected and safe network of cycling paths, raising public awareness about healthy transportation and motivate the community to practice sports.
It is worth noting that these tracks allow cyclists to ride at a speed up to 50 kilometers per hour. The track provides 29 tunnels and 5 bridges to facilitate uninterrupted ride. The track is designed completely separated from vehicle traffic to ensure complete safety of cyclists. Such elements qualify the track for holding international sports events, especially given the high speed that the contestants can reach. There are also 80 bicycle stands, 100 benches and 20 rest facilities provided along the route, besides 1450 lighting poles installed along the Olympic track to stimulate exploring it at night.
Ashghal team accelerated pace of work on the project and opened it to public, to break the record for the longest piece of continuously paved asphalt. The team continued uninterrupted work for 10 consecutive days during which they poured 1.8 million square meters of asphalt to pave 65 kilometers.
