Abu Dhabi: Traffic on Al Salam Street in Abu Dhabi will be detoured from Sunday to make way for road work, the Department of Municipal Affairs of Abu Dhabi said.
The area between Al Saad Bridge and Al Falah Street will be detoured to a parallel road, which will also have four lanes.
Motorists have been told to take necessary precautions and to comply with the specified speed limits in the detour areas.
The detour will not create any bottlenecks as necessary arrangements have been made to ensure smooth traffic flow, a senior official at Abu Dhabi Municipality told Gulf News.
"The only difference of the detour; compared to original road, is the lower speed limit," he said.
If motorists can comply with the lower speed limit, everything will be smooth, said the official.
