Doha: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) will implement a nine-hour temporary closure on three of the four north-bound lanes of Al Shamal Road, starting about 1km after Exit 35 at Al Khor intersection, as shown in the map, in coordination with the Traffic Department. 
The closure is 1.3km in length and will be in place from 1am to 10am tomorrow. 
Traffic will be diverted to the fourth lane which will remain open. 
The speed limit will be reduced from 120kph to 50kph to ensure the safety of road users and the project’s workforce.
Ashghal will install signs to advise motorists of the diversion and has urged road users to abide by speed limits and follow signs for safety.
The diversion is required to allow for the construction of a bridge at the intersection between Al Shamal Road and New Orbital Highway, as part of the New Orbital Highway and Truck Route Project, contract four. The Peninsula
