The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the opening of Al Oyoun Street to traffic.
The opening will provide a direct connection between Al Shamal Road and Thani Bin Jasim Street, and has been carried out in co-ordination with the General Directorate of Traffic, Ashghal tweeted Saturday.
The street will provide a new access to Al Gharrafa, creating better movement to the nearby commercial centres and stores such as Souq Al Gharrafa, and ease the traffic pressure on Al Shamal Road.
Ashghal has also built a new signal junction to provide easy access to traffic coming from Al Hateem Street and Al Gharrafa Road, as well as Izghawa and Gharrafat Al Rayyan towards Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor, bypassing Al Shamal Road.
Al Oyoun Street stretches for 1.3km and comprises two lanes in each direction to accommodate 4,388 vehicles per hour, along with new service roads to facilitate access to road users.
Al Oyoun Street is integrated with New Al Hateem Street built by Ashghal to provide an alternative route rather than Al Shamal Road between Izghawa and Al Gharrafa towards Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor and Umm Lekhba Interchange.
