Motorists traveling between Dubai and Sharjah can anticipate a sluggish commute during Thursday evening's rush hour, especially on key routes between the two emirates. The primary choke points are anticipated along Al Ittihad Road (E11) near Al Taawun, Sahara Centre and Al Nahda, areas that have experienced heavy traffic throughout the day. Google Maps traffic data reveals significant congestion on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) in Sharjah's industrial zones and Muwaileh.
Drivers embarking on the journey from Sharjah to Dubai should allocate additional time near Industrial Areas 11 and 15, where traffic flow has been notably sluggish. Congestion may also accumulate near major junctions and exits as commuters return home. Earlier today, a crash-related alert reported delays on E311 near Me'aisem First and Muhaisnah First in Dubai, further straining the overall Dubai-Sharjah corridor.
Roadworks in Sharjah are contributing to the delays, with a temporary diversion between Industrial Area 12 and Industrial Area 13 set to remain in place until August 30 for necessary maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. Concurrently, additional road development projects are underway in Dubai, including RTA's ongoing works on Al Marabea' Street in Al Quoz, which involves a new service road and pedestrian walkway.
Drivers are advised to consult live navigation before departing and consider alternative routes when feasible.
