Doha: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced that a traffic diversion will be in place on a section of Mesaieed Road between Al Wakrah and Mesaieed.
The diversion starts on Friday and lasts one-and-a-half years.
It is required to allow for the construction of a new interchange as part of the construction of Al Wakrah Bypass Road project.
During this period, two lanes in the direction from Mesaieed to Doha will be closed on part of the existing road.
The 800-metre closure starts after the local access to the family beach in under Al Wakrah Municipality.
Traffic will be diverted to a diversion built with the same number of lanes, as shown in the map.
Speed limit will be lowered from 80kmph to 50kmph throughout the diversion to ensure the safety of motorists and project workers.
Ashghal will install signs to advise motorists of the diversion and urges road users to abide by speed limits and follow signs for their safety.The Peninsula
