The Public Works Authority 'Ashghal', has announced that the multi-level interchange of the Industrial Area Road and East Industrial Street will be fully completed in June this year. The interchange is expected to significantly improve traffic flow on East Industrial Street and Street 33, Ashghal added in a statement.
The Public Works Authority, ‘Ashghal’, also diverted the traffic on the Industrial Area Road in both directions starting yesterday evening.
The new traffic diversion will not affect road users wishing to access residential and commercial areas in Umm Al Seneem, surrounding areas and Barwa Commercial Avenue. Road users travelling from Doha can still access the existing local road in front of Barwa Commercial Avenue by staying on the right side of the road, which will remain open from Mesaimeer Interchange towards the Industrial Area.
In addition, a new road is provided for road users wishing to reach the junction of the Industrial Area Road with East Industrial Street using the newly opened free flowing section of the Industrial Area Road.
The new section of road will provide four lanes in each direction and two new underpasses, at Umm Al Seneem Interchange (known as Karwa Interchange) and Wadi Lubara Interchange (known as Barwa Interchange).
Road users coming from Industrial Area towards Mesaimeer Interchange wishing to reach commercial and residential areas in Barwa Commercial Avenue, or wishing, can follow the newly installed directional signs and turn right at Umm Al Seneem Interchange traffic signals, then make a U-Turn to go back to the Industrial Area Road to reach their destination.
