Doha: Ashghal will close a section of the Orbital Road temporarily this weekend.

The tunnel prior to Umm Al Juwashin Interchange and leading to Al Khor will be closed from Thursday midnight July 19 to Saturday July 21 to enable the construction of the New Orbital Highway and Truck Route

Road users travelling on the Orbital Rd from Mesaieed & Salwa Rd to Al Khor can continue their journey to Umm Al Juwashin Interchange and use the northeastern loop leading to Dukhan Road and drive for 1 km then turn right onto the next exit and follow signage to re-join the Orbital Road.
