UAE Drivers Alert: Major Road Closures This Sunday - Plan Your Route Now!

Advertisement

Attention all UAE motorists! The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has issued an important travel advisory for this Sunday, June 15, as essential maintenance works will temporarily disrupt traffic flow on two key highways. Commuters heading towards Sharjah and using Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road should prepare for possible delays.

The scheduled roadworks will result in partial lane closures that may significantly impact your usual travel times. Authorities strongly recommend drivers to plan ahead, allow extra journey time, and consider alternative routes where possible.

On Emirates Road (heading towards Sharjah), road users will encounter reduced lanes near the crucial Maleha Street intersection. Three out of five lanes will be temporarily unavailable until 6pm while maintenance teams complete necessary upgrades. The RTA emphasizes the importance of heightened awareness in this area and suggests exploring different travel paths during these hours.

Meanwhile, another critical closure affects Exit 64 on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road - a major access point serving Industrial Areas and Al Khan. These improvement works began earlier at 12:30am but may still cause residual congestion until their scheduled completion at 10:30am. This infrastructure enhancement forms part of ongoing efforts to upgrade Dubai's transportation network.

The RTA reminds all drivers to maintain patience during these temporary disruptions and utilize available digital resources for live traffic monitoring. Real-time updates can be accessed through official RTA social media platforms and dedicated mobile applications to help navigate around affected areas efficiently.
