Doha: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) will put in place a temporary diversion on part of Al Rayyan Al Jadeed Street for a distance of 700 metres near Al Rayyan Police Station and in both directions, as shown in the map. The diversion will start from Friday May 6, 2016 and will last for 9 months.
During this period, traffic will be diverted to a newly constructed road adjacent to the closed road with the same number of lanes, as shown in the map.
Access to key public services, such as Al Rawabi Woqod Petrol Station and the Al Rayyan Police Station, will be available through a signal-controlled intersection near Al Busayer Street.
