The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced that the first access road to the service road coming from Abd al Aziz bin Ahmad Intersection towards the Industrial Area will be closed today and re-opened to traffic tomorrow. Ashghal said the closure was part of the development works on access roads branched from Salwa Road. Motorists coming from Abd al Aziz bin Ahmad Intersection heading to Aziziya area can use the alternative  roads during the temporary diversion period. According to the Ashghal, diverting traffic away from the main construction works on Salwa service roads will ensure safe and smooth traffic flow. Upon completion, Salwa Expressway will facilitate smooth travel thanks to its four lanes in each direction, four underpasses and the development of four cross roads. Salwa Expressway is part of Ashghal’s ambitious Expressway Programme which is a nationwide road infrastructure development programme that will improve the way places are connected across Qatar.
