The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ announces the conversion of Grand Hamad Intersection on A Ring Road into a temporary roundabout while keeping two lanes open in all directions, in addition to partially closing the intersection known as Bin Abbass. In coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic, this change will be implemented on Thursday 23 July 2020 for a period of 2 months to enable completion of upgrading works as part of the A Ring Road Development Project.

During this period, road users of Al Mahar Street wishing to turn left towards Grand Hamad Street, will be required to turn right and reach Ali bin Abdulla Intersection where they will perform a U-turn to get back on Grand Hamad Street and reach their destinations. Whereas, those using Grand Hamad Street and wishing to turn left towards Al Mahar Street, will have to continue straight for 100 meters where they will make a U-turn then turn right towards Al Mahar Street.

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. ​
