The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced closure of the southbound Collector/ Distributor Road at Hamad Port Interchange exit loop towards Mesaieed from Friday until June 7. The closure has been announced to allow the completion of permanent road works around Hamad Port Interchange.
During the traffic change, designed in co-ordination with the General Directorate of Traffic, road users heading towards Mesaieed through Hamad Port Interchange will be diverted to Umm Al Houl Interchange as shown on the map. And they will have to follow the below directions according to their destinations.
Road users coming from Al Majd Road and heading towards Mesaieed have been told to use the first exit loop to get onto Mesaieed Road heading northbound towards Al Wakra.
