THE Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has announced the commencement of work to develop Al Khor link roads network with a length of 28 km and convert seven temporary roads into permanent roads to facilitate traffic flow in all directions.
The seven roads are located in Wadi Al Banat, Rawdat Al Hamama, Tenbek and Umm Garn. Ashghal is also developing three roads in Al Daayen. The new roads will be expanded to two and three lanes in each direction instead of one, increasing the roads’ capacity to accommodate 8,000 vehicles per hour and contribute to reducing the travel time between these areas.
In addition to the expansion works, the roads will be linked to infrastructure networks services such as drainage networks, rainwater drainage networks, and potable water networks, in addition to telecommunication networks as well as electricity and street lighting. The new road design also includes green spaces and extended afforestation on most parts of the road.
Upon its completion in 2022, the roads will connect Al Khor Road to the adjacent residential areas, such as Rawdat Al Hamama, Wadi Al Banat, Al Kheesa, Al Daayen, Umm Garn and Tenbek, as well as facilitating access to sports facilities and recreational facilities in the area.
To carry out the road development works between Al Khor Road and Rawdat Al Hamama area, Ashghal will temporarily close a part of the road linking Al Ebb Street and Rawdat Al Hamama area for a distance of three kiloemtres from Sunday (September 6) for a period of eight months. The trafic will be closed between Al Tarfa Street, Al Ebb Street and Rawdat Al Hamama.
During the closure period, those coming from Al Tarfa Street and heading towards Rawdat Al Hamama can turn right to Al Ebb Street and use Wadi AlBanat Intersection on Al Khor Road, or turn left, and use Street 245, known as Arab League Street, to reach their destination.
Commuters coming from Al Majd Road and heading towards Rawdat Al Hamama area can use Rawdat Al Hamama Intersection on Al Khor Road to reach their destination.
The Public Works Authority will install sufficient road signage to alert road users about the diversion. Commuters need to abide by the speed limit of 50km/hour and follow the road signage to ensure their own and others’ safety. (TNN)
