Traffic will be diverted on Lijmiliya road for two-and-a-half months from Wednesday  to enable the construction of a final 2.3km extension of the road on the Al Sheehaniya – Leatooriya – Lijmiliya Road Expressway Project.

The proposed road change, scheduled to be in place until May 31, will occur approximately one km south of Lijmiliya and has been worked out in co-ordination with the General Directorate of Traffic.
The Al Sheehaniya – Leatooriya – Lijmiliya Road Expressway project is a new 31km road that will more efficiently link the regional towns of Al Sheehaniya, Leatooriya and Lijmiliya.
Once complete, the new expressway will enhance transport efficiency in rural Qatar by providing motorists with two lanes in each direction, which is double the vehicle capacity of the previous road.
The project will simultaneously improve road safety through the installation of guard rails, street lighting and intelligent transport systems.
As shown on the map, the minor road change will shift motorists to a parallel route, providing road users with one lane in each direction.
