Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced significant updates to road conditions on the Dubai - Al Ain Road. Due to essential bridge maintenance work, there will be delays in both directions at the fifth intersection with Jebel Ali - Lehbab Road. This work will affect traffic daily on weekdays from 10pm to 6am, starting from 9 August and continuing through 9 September 2024.
In addition to weekday disruptions, the Dubai - Al Ain Road will be fully closed on weekends for two weeks, beginning 9 August. During this closure, which will occur from 1am to 10am each weekend, drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid delays.
For travellers coming from Al Ain to Dubai, traffic will be redirected to the free right exit onto Jebel Ali - Lehbab Road towards Hatta, with a U-turn at the first roundabout to return towards Dubai.
For those travelling from Dubai to Al Ain, traffic will be directed to the free right exit onto Jebel Ali - Lehbab Road towards Jebel Ali Port, followed by a U-turn at the first roundabout to head towards Al Ain.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to plan their trips accordingly to navigate these changes effectively.
