New diversion at The Pearl-Qatar area
Ashghal has announced a new diversion at The Pearl area in West Bay effective from early Thursday.
Access to and from The Pearl will change to a newly built road. The diversion will continue until January 8. The two-lane traffic will be maintained in each direction of The Pearl's new entrance and exit of the Pearl.
The diversion is due to important works taking place as part of the construction of the Lusail Expressway project.
The authority also announced the closure of the entry (and exit) point to The Pearl Qatar from the Lagoona roundabout, which will instead function as an access for vehicles heading to Lagoona Mall and the hotels in that area.
The new roundabout will be opened at the point where the new diversion route from The Pearl meets with Lusail Street.
This roundabout will temporarily be converted into a signalised intersection by Spring 2015, which will eventually be removed to form part of the free-flow Lusail Expressway.
