Announced via official social media channel X, RTA informed its followers about ‘expected delay on the Dubai – Al Ain Road under the fifth intersection with Jebel Ali – Lehbab Road in both directions.’

The roadworks are set to take place over weekdays from 10 pm to 6pm from Friday, August 9 to Monday, September 9, 2024.

It further added that the Dubai – Al Ain Road will be fully closed from August 9 for two weeks over the weekends from 1am to 10am.
