Dubai Metro’s Red Line will be partially closed over 12 weekends starting July 28 up and until October 14 for essential works between Jumeirah Lakes Towers station and Ibn Battuta station.
The Rail Agency of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) confirmed that the move is due to constructional changes on the route of the Dubai Metro Red Line to link it with the Route 2020 project.
“Metro commuters heading towards the UAE Exchange Station need to get off at JLT Station, take a free bus ride to Ibn Battuta Station and then continue their journey by metro in the direction of the UAE Exchange Station,” Said Mohammed Yousef Al Mudharreb, director of rail operations, RTA’s Rail Agency. The opposite journey is in effect for passengers travelling from UAE Exchange towards Al Rashidiya.
