Temporary closure from Sheraton R/A to Post Office Signal
Ashghal has announced a temporary closure on the Corniche Street from Sheraton Roundabout to the Post Office signalised junctions, for 9 days starting tomorrow night.
This closure is part of ongoing construction works to complete the conversion of the Sheraton R/A to a signalised junction.
The closure runs from the evening of Thursday, Feb 2 until the evening of Saturday, March 8.
Commuters will be required to use alternative roads throughout this period, and follow the directions and road signs.
The traffic from Dafna R/A and City Center going towards Sheraton will have to go right to Al-Funduq street and use alternative roads to reach the Corniche Street, or take Majlis Al-Taawon street (as indicated on the map).
Commuters from Majlis Al-Taawon street will have to take Omar Al Mukhtar street then go right towards Dafna R/A.
While commuters on Al-Funduq street going towards Sheraton Roundabout will have to go right in front of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, and follow the directional signs to reach the Corniche Street.
The project consists of three lane dual carriageways on the Corniche Street including three lanes towards City Centre Mall and three lanes towards Omar Al Mukhtar Street, in addition to side roads to the right of signals.
The work also includes creating a signalised pedestrian crossing between the two intersections to access the new Qatar International Exhibition Centre and other government buildings located in this area without a need to make a U-turn from Al Dafna intersection.
