The Hadiqa Road interchange along Shaikh Zayed Road (SZR) will be closed over the weekend starting on Thursday at midnight until 5am on Sunday, July 24, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced.
"Please note there will be road closure from the exit of the bridge leading to Al Hadiqa Street and Al Maydan from SZR," the RTA posted on Twitter.
"The road closure is in support of the opening of the remaining lanes on the South Bridge on SZR towards Abu Dhabi to aid a smooth flow of the traffic on this bridge," RTA added.
RTA advised motorists going towards Al Hadiqa Street to use Umm Al Sheif Road as an alternative road. While drivers going towards Al Meydan Road can use Al Manara bridge exit on Shaikh Zayed Road.
RTA also told road users to check on their social media platforms (@RTA_Dubai) for further details on the closure.
"We thank our road users for their continuous cooperation and we apologise for any possible inconvenience caused by this temporary closure," RTA said.
