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. They will need to travel for 3km until reaching Umm Al Houl Interchange. At Umm Al Houl Interchange, road users can take the first right exit and continue straight towards the northern entrance of Hamad Port where they can take a U-turn and head back towards Umm Al Houl Interchange and use the exit loop onto Mesaieed Road heading southbound towards Mesaieed.
