Dubai-Sharjah evening traffic: E11 and E311 among key trouble spots

## Evening Traffic Congestion

Commuters traveling between Dubai and Sharjah are facing significant delays, especially during the Thursday evening rush hour. The main roads affected include Al Ittihad Road (E11) and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311), which are experiencing heavy congestion.

## Key Trouble Spots

On E11, traffic is particularly slow around Al Taawun, Sahara Centre, and Al Nahda. Meanwhile, E311 is congested through Sharjah's industrial areas and Muwaileh, with additional delays reported near Industrial Areas 11 and 15.

## Additional Challenges

A crash earlier today on E311 near Me’aisem First and Muhaisnah First in Dubai has further exacerbated traffic conditions. Roadworks in Sharjah between Industrial Area 12 and 13, as well as ongoing developments in Dubai's Al Quoz, are also contributing to the delays.

## Advice for Drivers

Motorists are advised to check live traffic updates and consider alternative routes to avoid the worst of the congestion. The roadworks in Sharjah are expected to continue until the end of August.
