Temporary Road Closures Impact Dubai-bound Traffic

Temporary Road Closure in UAE: Traffic Diversion towards Dubai from July 26–28

The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure of the United Arab Emirates has announced a temporary road closure that will significantly affect transportation for traffic heading towards Dubai. The closure is part of ongoing infrastructural developments aimed at expanding and long-term improvement of the region's traffic network.

Which sections are affected by the closure?

The affected road sections:

Al Jamea Road

Al Muzawwad Road

These roads will be closed at the Al Badia intersection, specifically towards Dubai (Emirates Road).

Closure Timeframe:

Start: Saturday, July 26, 2025, at 1 AM

End: Monday, July 28, 2025, at 5 AM

How to avoid the closed sections?

According to the ministry's information, traffic will be diverted to the Al Houshi Bridge, located on Maliha Road, leading westwards. The diversion aims to allow travelers to continue towards Dubai with minimal disruptions.

Authorities request motorists to exercise increased caution and plan routes in advance, especially during morning rush hours. Drivers are also urged to follow the posted diversion signs and consider changes in navigation system updates.

Why is the closure necessary?

This step is part of a comprehensive project aimed at developing transport infrastructure, which not only increases the capacity of the road network but also makes it safer in the future. While such closures can cause temporary inconvenience, they contribute to the long-term optimization of traffic and easier access towards Dubai.
