The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced a partial closure of the northbound lanes of Al-Khaleej Street, leading from Wadi Mushireb Intersection (known as Al Jaidah Bridge Roundabout) towards Al Khaleej Intersection (known as Al Mannai Roundabout) from August 14 for four months.
During the period, access from Al -Mannai Roundabout to Al -Khaleej Street will be also banned. The closure, implemented in co-ordination with the General Directorate of Traffic, will also facilitate the installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Ibn Mahmoud Street with Al-Rayyan Road.
Traffic coming from the White Palace Intersection towards Al-Mannai Roundabout can use Ibn Mahmoud Street to reach Al -Jaidah Bridge Roundabout. Traffic coming from Al-Diwan Intersection towards Al-Mannai Roundabout can turn right towards Qasr Al-Marmar Roundabout and take a u-turn towards Al-Mannai underpass leading to Al-Jaidah Bridge Roundabout. Traffic heading from Al-Kahrabaa Intersection to Al-Mannai Roundabout will have to use Al-Diwan Street and then turn left at Al- Diwan Intersection. Those coming from the B-Ring Road or Ibn Seena Street towards Al-Jaidah Bridge Roundabout can use Bin Mahmoud Street to reach Al- Mannai Bridge as shown on the map.
During the period, a partial closure will be implemented at the “The Centre Intersection” on Salwa Road where the main lanes will be kept open between Ramada Intersection and Al Jaidah Bridge Roundabout. Those coming from Al-Kandi Street can only turn right into Salwa Road as shown on the map.
The closure is aimed at allowing the installation of a bridge deck at Al-Mannai Roundabout in addition to increasing the number of lanes in Al-Khaleej Street from the existing two to three lanes in both directions. The works are carried as part of the Interim Improvement of the B-Ring Road, Al-Mannai and Guest Palace Roundabouts Scheme project that was proposed to enhance traffic movement and reduce congestion in these vital areas.
Ashghal will install road signs advising motorists of the closure. Ashghal has requested all road users to abide by the speed limit, and follow the road signs to ensure safety.
