Dubai: Traffic delays, diversions announced for major road

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has announced about traffic delays and diversions for a month on Al Ain Road under the fifth intersection with Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road.

In a social media post on Thursday, the authority told commuters to brace for delays in both directions of the road daily — starting from August 9 until September 9, 2024, during weekdays, from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am — due to maintenance work on the bridge.

The RTA also informed that the Dubai-Al Ain Road will be completely closed on the same dates for two weeks — during weekends only — from 1:00 am to 10:00 am.
