Work on converting Civil Defence roundabout to signal to start today
As part of the works to upgrade intersections and convert roundabouts into signal-controlled intersections, Ashghal has announced the commencement of Phase 1 of work to convert the Civil Defence Roundabout into a signaled intersection.
Once completed, it is expected to enhance the traffic flow and reduce the congestion in the area.
The works will be implemented only on the sides of the road on Al Istiqlal Street and Mohammed bin Thani Street. All traffic lanes will remain open to traffic in all directions.
The first phase, which begins on May 2 (Monday), will last until June 23.
Phase 2 will begin in the last week of June and will include a temporary closure of a lane in both directions on Al Istiqlal Street and Mohammed bin Thani Street.
The two lanes of the road and the roundabout will remain open to traffic, and the closure will last until mid-September 2016.
The works to convert the Civil Defence Roundabout into a signal-controlled intersection are part of the 5th phase of the development of Municipality of Greater Doha.

I used to fancy Florence in the Magic Roundabout
She's a fine roundabout. Could actually be my favourite roundabout in the world.
