The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ announces that it will close the exit and entrance at Umm Birka interchange and divert the traffic to an alternative road parallel to the closed one as shown on the attached Map. The diversion will start on July 27, 2017 for a period of 75 days.
This traffic diversion is required to enable the works of laying Sewer rising mains as part of design, build, operate and maintain of Al Thakhira Sewage Treatment Works, Transfer Pumping Station and Associated Pipelines.
The Public Works Authority requests that all road users abide by the speed limit and follow diversion road signs to ensure their safety. With the camping season now underway, Ashghal also reminds road users to exercise special care while driving to their campsite, by further reducing speed as necessary.
