The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) will implement a minor traffic diversion at Duhail Intersection on Al Shamal Road from January 25 (Friday) to January 31 to facilitate the work of Duhail Intersection upgrade project.
Ashghal announced that the partial closure would affect vehicles travelling from Al Khafji Street towards Al Gharrafa Street and Doha, commuters from Doha towards Al Gharrafa Street and those who wish to make a U-turn back towards Doha.
During the restriction period, the Izghawa Intersection at Exit 5 on Al Shamal Road will become the access point for traffic between the eastern and western areas and Al Shamal Road, as well as Al kharaitiyat Interchange and Al Kheesa Interchange and Umm Slal Mohammed Interchange.
To make it easier for the public, Ashghal recently opened a 3.5-kilometre road parallel to Al Shamal Road linking Izghawa and Al Gharrafa areas. The new road extends from Izghawa Street to Al Oyoun Street and provides exit and access to Al Shamal Road to serve as an alternative route to Duhail roundabout that is scheduled to close.
West Bay to Al Gharrafa
During the partial closure, road users travelling from West Bay via Al Khafji Street heading towards Al Gharrafa should take a right turn at Arab League Street to Izghawa Interchange or take a right turn on Duhail Street or Duhail roundabout, which is partially closed, to access Al Shamal Road and exit at exit 5 to reach Izghawa Interchange. They should take a left turn on the main bridge, then another left turn at the next traffic signal towards Izghawa Interchange to join the newly-constructed road to access Al Gharrafa and the malls in the area.

U-turn back to Doha
Road users travelling along Al Shamal Road coming from Doha who wish to make a U-turn back to Doha, will be required to use exit 5 to reach Izghawa Interchange. At this interchange, they should take a U-turn on the main bridge to Al Shamal Road towards Doha.
The Public Works Authority will install road signs advising motorists of the changes on the road. It has requested all road users to abide by speed limit of the 60 kmph and follow the road signs to ensure their safety.
The Duhail Intersection Upgrade project consists of works of 3.3 kilometres at an estimated cost of QR800 million.
