Ashghal will implement a nearly 17-month long minor diversion on Al Gharrafa Street from Friday, the Public Works Authority announced.
The diversion, scheduled to last until September 30, 2019, will facilitate the works completion of the underpass on Al Gharrafa Street, as part of the Khalifa Avenue project.
During the detour, both directions of Al Gharrafa Street between Thani bin Jasim Street traffic signal and Al Hazm Street signal will be reduced from three lanes to two (as illustrated on the map).
The authorities will install road signs guiding motorists to the diverted route. Ashghal has requested all road users to abide by the existing 50 kph speed limit, and follow the road signs to ensure safety.
The diversion is designed in collaboration with the General Directorate of Traffic.
