Traffic on Umm Besher interchange that was opened recently. The interchange was opened due to the closure of a 250-metre stretch of Al Wukair Temporary Street to expedite completion of a 22km main carriageway, which is a part of Ashghal’s East-West Corridor Project. Once completed, the project will deliver five lanes in each direction, providing direct, free flow of traffic between the Industrial Area and Hamad International Airport.
