During this time, road users heading towards Duhail Interchange from its four directions can only turn right, while Al Shamal Bridge will remain open, allowing users to continue south and north on Al Shamal Road. U-turns before the closed roundabout for users via Al Khafji Street and Al Gharrafa Street will also be available, The Peninsula reported.

During the period of traffic change, Izghawa Interchange at Exit 5 of Al Shamal road will become the access point for traffic between the eastern and western areas and Al Shamal Road. Road users can use Al Kharaitiyat Interchange and Al Kheesa Interchange and Umm Slal Mohammed Interchange to go to and from Al Shamal Road.

To ease traffic inconvenience, Ashghal recently opened a 3.5km road parallel to Al Shamal Road on December 2018 linking Izghawa and Al Gharrafa areas. The new road extends from Izghawa Street to Al Oyoon Street and provides exit and access to Al Shamal Road to serve as an alternative route to Duhail Roundabout that will be closed.
