The Public Works Authority ‘Ashghal’ yesterday announced that it will close one direction of the service road leading from Al Luqta Street to Al Beday Street for a distance of 500 metres in order to enable construction and utility works in the area. The proposed closure has been designed in coordination with the General Directorate of Traffic.
It will commence on tomorrow and will be in place for a year and a half.
During this period, road users travelling eastbound from Al Luqta Street and wishing to enter Al Beday Street, will be required to continue straight on Al Luqta Street and turn right on to Uhud Street, take a right on to Al Muhajereen Street, and then turn left to Badr Street to exit towards Al Beday Street, as shown in the attached map.
The Public Works Authority will also construct a u-turn at the point of closure on the service road to allow residents and users of the local roads to reach Uhud Street and follow the diverted route to exit to Al Beday Street.
The Public Works Authority will install road signs advising motorists of the closure. ‘Ashghal’ requests all road users to abide by the speed limit, and follow the road signs to ensure their safety.
