The minor access change, to be in force until the end of 2017, has been designed in co-ordination with the General Directorate of Traffic. The road users will still be able to access Sidra and QNCC from Al Luqta Street and will only be required to take the first right turn exit after the Tilted Roundabout (as shown on the map).
Ashghal has said there will be no changes to lane configurations or speed limits on Al Luqta Street or the internal roads within Sidra or QNCC.
The minor access change is the first stage of a three-phase diversion that will be implemented on the Dukhan Highway East project. The diversions are required to enable the construction of a pedestrian tunnel, future roads and the implementation of new utilities systems. Ashghal will provide frequent updates to road users regarding the next two phases of the road changes in the area.
The minor access change, to be in force until the end of 2017, has been designed in co-ordination with the General Directorate of Traffic.
The existing access routes to the Sidra Medical and Research Centre (Sidra) and Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) from Al Luqta Street (right after the Tilted Roundabout), will remain closed for over a year from Saturday evening.
