## Sheikh Zayed Road (E11)

Sheikh Zayed Road is seeing bumper-to-bumper traffic, particularly from Garhoud near Dubai International Airport to Sahara Centre. Construction and accidents are contributing to the delays.

Traffic on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road is very slow from Nad Al Hamar to Muhaisnah, with moderate congestion around Dubai Production City and Dubai South.

## Emirates Road (E611)

Emirates Road remains relatively smooth, though moderate delays are occurring around Al Awir and Tilal due to construction at Al Badia Interchange.

Drivers are advised to plan for extra travel time, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and consider alternative routes to avoid delays.
