​The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ announces the conversion of Fereej Abdul Aziz Intersection known as Hafsa Intersection on B Ring Road into a temporary roundabout while keeping two lanes open in all directions. In coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic, this change will be implemented on Thursday 16 July 2020 for a period of 6 months to enable expansion and upgrading works on Fereej Abdul Aziz Intersection and installation of new traffic lights, as part of the B Ring Road Development Project.

The Public Works Authority has previously announced a temporary closure on the B Ring Road from Al Doha Al Jadeeda Intersection to Fereej Abdelaziz Intersection, thus, for road users coming from Al Matar Street, they can use Salah Al Deen Street then turn left towards Ibn Al Awwam Street then right towards B Ring Road to get to Fereej Abdelaziz temporary Roundabout and continue to reach their destinations, as shown in the attached map.

The Public Works Authority will install road signs advising motorists of the closure. Ashghal requests all road users to abide by the speed limit, and follow the road signs to ensure their safety.
