Sharjah-Dubai traffic: Motorists face delays on major roads

## Heavy Traffic on Key Roads

Motorists traveling between Sharjah and Dubai are experiencing significant delays due to crashes and construction work on major roads. Key routes affected include Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311), Sheikh Zayed Road/Al Ittihad Road (E11), and Emirates Road (E611).

## Accidents and Construction Impact

Recent incidents, such as a crash on E311 near Industrial Area 15, have contributed to the slow movement and congestion. Additionally, ongoing construction projects, particularly around Al Taawun Street and Al Taawun Roundabout, are causing diversions and affecting traffic flow towards Dubai and the Al Nahda Bridge.

## Alternative Routes and Advisories

Motorists are being redirected to alternative routes like Al Corniche Street to manage the congestion. Other roads, including Al Nahda Street, University City Road, Al Dhaid Road, and Maleha Road, are also experiencing increased traffic as drivers seek alternative paths.

## Recommendations for Drivers

Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time, maintain safe distances near crash sites, and adhere to temporary signage in construction zones. Checking live traffic updates before starting the journey is recommended to avoid unexpected delays.
