If you’re planning to drive around Dubai between May 30 and June 3, here’s something to keep in mind — the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced expected traffic delays at a busy intersection in the city.

According to the RTA, road improvement works will be taking place at the intersection of Sheikh Rashid Street and Al Mina Street, starting from 1 AM on Friday, May 30, and continuing until 5 AM on Tuesday, June 3. This is likely to cause congestion in the area during this period.

Plan Ahead and Use Alternate Routes

To avoid getting stuck in traffic, motorists are encouraged to plan their journeys ahead of time and follow the road signs placed around the affected zone. The RTA has also recommended using alternate routes to help reduce pressure on the roads under construction.

Here are the suggested alternative routes:

• Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah Street

• Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street

• Jumeirah Street

• Kuwait Street

• 2nd of December Street

Whether you’re commuting to work or heading out for the weekend, it’s a good idea to keep these changes in mind and allow extra travel time. Stay safe and drive smart!
