The closure is to enable the final asphalt works to open two main interchanges on Al Rayyan Road Upgrade Phase One.
The new interchanges will provide free flow traffic and direct access to commercial and residential properties on Al Shafi and Al Qalaa Street and 2.6km of the main carriageway will be opened on March 18.
The temporary closure will cover parts of Al Rayyan Al Jadeed Street, Al Qalaa Street and part of Al Busayer Street (at the junction of Al Rayyan Al Jadeed Street).
Access towards Doha and Bani Hajer will be available via Al Wajbah Street, Al Hamd Street, Al Jassasiya Street, Al Shafi Street, and the Equestrian Roundabout. Al Rayyan Municipality offices will be accessible via Al Shaqab Street as shown on the map.
The Public Works Authority has requestd all road users to abide by the speed limit of 50kph along the diversion routes, and follow newly installed traffic road signs to ensure their safety.
Ashghal has increased manpower and resources to expedite works in delivering this significant portion of the Al Rayyan Road Upgrade, Project One. The final completion of the project which comprises three interchanges, dedicated pedestrian and cycle paths as well as the provision of upgraded utilities is scheduled for Q3 2017.
