The persion is required to facilitate the laying of permanent asphalt on the first phase of Ashghal’s Al Rayyan Road Upgrade project.

To minimise disruption to families, school children and teaching staff, Ashghal aims to complete the necessary works and make this section of the street available for public use before the re-opening of schools.

The Public Works Authority anticipates that it will complete the entire Al Rayyan Road Upgrade project, converting the 2.9km stretch of Al Rayyan Road into a dual carriageway, four lanes in each direction with three interchanges, by the end of Q1 2017.

Ashghal will install road signs advising motorists of the persion. The authority requests all road users to abide by the existing 80 kph speed limit and follow the road signs to ensure their safety.
