Dubai-Sharjah traffic report: Heavy delays on E11 and E311

Dubai-Sharjah traffic is building across several key commuter routes this morning, with the latest Google Maps view showing a mix of heavy congestion and slower-moving traffic at major interchanges.

On the Sharjah side, E88 Al Dhaid Road is mostly moving, but the map shows pockets of orange and red around the S128 interchange and approaches near Sharjah Library and Nad Wasit. These short but significant bottlenecks are likely to affect drivers joining or leaving E88, particularly where traffic merges between local roads and the main highway.

E11 Al Ittihad Road is showing more pronounced delays. The map indicates red and orange sections around the Al Khan and Al Mamzar approaches, with traffic also slowing towards the Dubai-Sharjah boundary. This is one of the main pressure points for commuters heading from Sharjah into Dubai, and delays can quickly spread onto nearby access roads.

Further east, E311 Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road is also experiencing heavy traffic. The Google Maps view shows several red stretches, particularly around major junctions between Sharjah’s Industrial Areas and the Dubai side. Traffic is especially slow around the connections with S112 and S116, while sections of E311 north and south of the junctions remain comparatively faster.

For motorists travelling from Sharjah to Dubai this morning, E11 appears to be the more challenging option near Al Khan and Al Mamzar, while E311 has significant congestion around its Sharjah industrial-area interchanges. E611 may offer an alternative for some journeys, depending on the destination, although drivers should check live conditions before switching routes.

Commuters bound for Deira, Al Twar and Dubai districts should be prepared for delays after crossing the border, particularly at busy exits during the peak period today.

Overall, the maps suggest a difficult morning commute rather than a complete standstill across the corridor. Drivers should expect stop-start conditions near interchanges, allow additional journey time and avoid sudden lane changes as traffic queues form. Conditions can change quickly during the morning peak, so live navigation remains the best guide immediately before setting off.
