Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on Wednesday warned residents of traffic delays on February 23 on several key roads due to a major cycling event.
The UAE Tour 2023, which kicked off on February 20, is reaching its Dubai leg today.
Departing from Shindagha, the first part of the Dubai stage begins on the edge of the city before entering the desert and touching on classic stopover locations such as Al Qudra Cycle track and Expo City Dubai. The cyclists will then arrive at the Palm Jumeirah, on Crescent Rd, before returning to the base of the Palm and Dubai Harbour.
Keeping the routes in mind, RTA has announced that drivers must expect delays on the following key roads in the emirate on Thursday (February 23) from 12.30pm to 4.30pm. The authority urged motorists to plan their journey accordingly or take alternative routes.
