As for Dubai, the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has reminded drivers of anticipated traffic delays on roads heading toward Abu Dhabi due to ongoing maintenance work.

According to an update on RTA’s official social media platforms, motorists should expect delays between the intersections of Hatta Road and Al Ain Road when travelling from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. This maintenance work is scheduled to continue until 31 August, 2024.

To further improve Dubai’s infrastructure, the RTA has also notified drivers of expected delays on Dubai-Al Ain Road at the fifth intersection with Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road in both directions.

These delays will occur on weekdays from 10pm to 6am until 9 September, 2024, due to bridge maintenance work. Additionally, Dubai-Al Ain Road will be fully closed on weekends from 1am to 10am.

The transport authority detailed these closures on its social media platforms accompanied by images indicating the affected lanes. Lanes marked in red will be closed, while those in green will remain open. Motorists are advised to plan their routes carefully and follow traffic regulations during this time.
