As part of ongoing works on the Lusail Expressway project, the Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the opening of a new entrance to Katara – the Cultural Village from Al Lusail Street. |
The new entrance will provide a second entry into Katara and help ease congestion in the area by enabling northbound traffic to enter the Cultural Village without queuing up at the roundabout.
Tomorrow, the authority will close the existing entrance to Katara via the Lagoon Roundabout to complete vital construction works between Lusail Street and Katara.
The closure will allow a work zone for the construction of the Lusail Expressway and a metro station.
The existing exit from Katara at the roundabout will remain open throughout.
Once the closure is in place, vehicles travelling south will be required to make a U-turn at Al Gassar junction to access Katara.
Throughout the construction period, two lanes will remain open to traffic in both directions on Lusail Street.
Additionally, the existing right-turn lane from Legtaifiya Street onto Lusail Street will remain open. Commuters can use a new slip road for travelling south and turning west along Legtaifiya Street.
