Abu Dhabi traffic report: Congestion reported on key routes

## Key Routes Experience Delays

Abu Dhabi is experiencing significant traffic congestion on several major roads. Motorists traveling towards Mussafah, Khalifa City, and Al Dhafra should anticipate extended travel times due to heavy traffic.

## Specific Areas of Concern

Traffic is particularly slow on the E22, especially around the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque interchange, extending towards the Rabdan junction with E30. The E30, Al Rawdah Road, is also congested near Mohammed Bin Zayed City and the Mafraq area.

In central Abu Dhabi, moderate to heavy traffic is reported on E22 near Al Wahda Mall and Mubadala Tower. Additionally, Mubarak Bin Mohammed Street in Al Nahyan and Al Dhafrah Street near Mushrif Mall are experiencing slower traffic.

## Lane Closure and Speed Limit Changes

A temporary lane closure is in effect on E11 in the Al Dhafra region, with the left lane towards Abu Dhabi closed until September 20. Motorists should adhere to temporary traffic signs and allow extra travel time.

Furthermore, the speed limit on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Road has been reduced from 120km/h to 100km/h in both directions since September 14. Drivers are advised to check live traffic updates before traveling as conditions can change rapidly.
