The Public Works Authority, ‘Ashghal’, has announced that it will close the existing U-turn and install a new temporary traffic signal at the junction of Al Busayer Street and Al Rayyan Al Jadeed Street.
The closure, which will allow Ashghal to conduct construction that would increase the lane capacity from 2 to 4 lanes in each direction along Al Rayyan Al Jadeed Street, has been designed in coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic. It will be implemented on Friday 12 October 2018 and be in place for a period of two months
As shown on the attached map, road users travelling eastbound on Al Rayyan Al Jadeed Street will be required to use the new temporary signal to turn left on to Al Busayer Street and head towards Al Rayyan Municipality and Al Shaqab area, or make a U-turn to travel towards Bani Hajer. They can also access Al Nayef Petrol Station from Al Busayer Street.
The Public Works Authority requests all road users to abide by the speed limit, which has been reduced from 80 kph to 50 kph along the diversion routes, and follow the road signs to ensure their safety.
