The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the implementation of a temporary diversion on Salwa Road eastbound carriageway between Rawdat Rashed Interchange (Exit 29) and Mesaieed Interchange (Exit 24) for a distance of 2.2 kilometres to allow the installation of gantries at Mesaieed Interchange.
The proposed diversion has been designed in coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic, and will remain in place for a period of four days, starting on November 22 Thursday until November 25 Sunday.
During the period, vehicles heading eastbound on Salwa Road towards Doha will be diverted to the westbound carriageway after Rawdat Rashed Interchange and will be returned to the normal flow before reaching Mesaieed Interchange.
During the diversion, the number of lanes will be reduced from four to two in order to accommodate traffic movement in both directions.
During the traffic change, the right turn exit at Mesaieed Interchange will be temporarily closed. Vehicles heading from Bu Samra towards Mesaieed should follow the signs and use the three loops to exit Mesaieed Interchange towards Mesaieed.
The temporary realignment of Salwa Road will prevent traffic access from Salwa Service Road to Salwa Road, and traffic will be directed to Rawdat Rashed Interchange, through which they can get onto Salwa Road.
Ashghal will install road signs advising motorists of the closure. It has requested all road users to abide by the speed limit of 80 kph and follow the road signs to ensure their safety.
