(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced that streets 1083, 1064, and 1003 branching off the Al Wakrah Hospital Street will be closed starting from Al Wakrah Hospital Roundabout near Gate 6 to New Al Meera Roundabout for over six months from Saturday.
The closure will last until the beginning of February 2016. The closed streets are located at the first, second, and fourth exit to the right side of Al Wakrah Hospital Street. Motorists can use the alternative local routes as shown in the map.
Ashghal is implementing this temporary closure to allow the Sewer Micro-tunnelling line as part of the works to develop the roads and infrastructure in Al Wakrah West.
The Public Works Authority had implemented, since the beginning of June, a two-lane closure on Al Wakrah Hospital Street starting from Al Wakrah Hospital Roundabout near Gate 6 to Al Wukair Road roundabout. Both southbound lanes from Al Wukair Road roundabout to Al Wakrah Hospital Roundabout will remain open.
Motorists on Al Wakrah Hospital Street, going from the New Al Meera Building towards Al Wakrah Hospital Roundabout and heading north to reach Doha City, will have to turn right on the roundabout onto Al Andalus Street and then turn right at the end of the street onto Abdul Rahman Bin Jassim Street and then make a U-turn at Al Jabal Roundabout and drive straight along Abdul Rahman Bin Jassim Street to get to their destination bypassing the closure on Al Wakrah Hospital Roundabout.
Ashghal had also been carrying out, as of May 3 this year, a one-lane closure on Al Wakrah Hospital Street starting from New Al Meera Roundabout until Al Wakrah Hospital Roundabout near Gate 6. Traffic in both directions was diverted onto the two remaining lanes. All these closures will open at the same time by the beginning of February 2016.
Ashghal will install all necessary signage in the area to notify drivers during work period. Ashghal has urged all road users to abide by speed limits and traffic signs to ensure their safety during work period.
