Motorists coming from Al Khor via Al Khor Coastal Road will have to take a diversion from the Simaisma bridge towards the old Shamal Road.

Roads from the Katara signal to The Pearl-Qatar and from West Bay to Katara will also be closed, MoI announced.

The organising committee has arranged for alternative facilities to reach The Pearl, which include a shuttle bus service from Doha Exhibition Centre and Katara as well as a water taxi service from Katara.

There will be eight water taxis departing every 20 minutes between Katara Cultural Center and The Pearl-Qatar.

For internal transportation within The Pearl-Qatar, residents and visitors can use golf carts during the road closure.

The MoI urged the public to co-operate with security personnel and the event's organisers. The cycling event will continue until October 16.
