Temporary detour on Shaikh Rashid Road in Dubai

Dubai: A temporary detour will open on Shaikh Rashid Road, starting Saturday, September 5, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced.

Traffic heading towards Abu Dhabi will be diverted for a stretch of one kilometre between Garhoud Bridge and Wafi Interchange.

However, the detour will maintain the same number of the existing lanes to avoid any disruption on the traffic flow.

According to RTA, the diversion is required to clear the way for carrying out the remaining construction works of the flyover on the Shaikh Rashid Road as well as completing roads and utility works alongside Wafi City under Wafi Interchange Improvement Project.

The project is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of next year.
