Alternative routes soon as Salam Street in Abu Dhabi is to be closed

Abu Dhabi: As part of the upgrading of Salam Street and the Eastern Ring Road in Abu Dhabi, new alternate routes will be announced soon as the partial closure of Salam Street is expected within a few days.

The closure will be from the intersection of Salam Street - with street number nine (National Drilling Company/Dubai Islamic Bank) - to the intersection of Mina Road.

Drivers coming from the Eastern Ring road or driving towards the direction of Mina are advised to follow the right lane before reaching the intersection that connects Salam Street and the Eastern Ring Road with Falah Street. This is to allow them to reach the Abu Dhabi Mall Street and the Tourist Club Area unless they use the alternative routes to be announced.

People are urged to be vigilant and drive responsibly. Full cooperation is required in adhering to the speed limits, respecting traffic regulations, and keeping safety on the roads. Pedestrians are requested to use the allocated pedestrian crossings for their own safety.

The project is a strategy by Abu Dhabi municipality to develop integrated infrastructure to international standards, including the modernisation of road and transport systems.
