From the Capital Governorate, you can access the Al Fateh Highway, Government Avenue, and the inner roads of the Governorate.

In Muharraq, alternatives include Khalifa bin Salman Bridge, Dry Dock Highway, Arad Highway, Rayya Highway, Sheikh Salman Highway, and Sheikh Hamad Bridge which is also accessible to residents of Busaiteen and surrounding areas.

Samaheej, Qalali, Al-Dair, Arad, and Al-Hidd residents can access Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Bridge.

The GDT has called on commuters to limit non-essential travel and stay updated during the two days. Traffic Police will be available on the road to aid vehicular movements and emergencies in case of road closures.
