The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) Dubai has announced the closure of the Floating Bridge on Fridays and passing through Al Maktoum Bridge will be Salik-free on the same day. The closure from 10pm on Thursdays until 6am on Saturdays will offer more time to ships and marine transit modes to navigate through the Dubai Creek.
“The decision has been taken in the light of specialist and comprehensive traffic studies, which revealed that Al Maktoum Bridge, Al Garhoud Bridge and Al Shandagha Tunnel are capable of accommodating the traffic movement in the area on Fridays where it is significantly less,” said Engineer Maitha bin Adai, CEO of RTA’s Traffic & Roads Agency.
