Sharjah's Roads and Transport Authority has partially reopened a key University City route, as construction for the Etihad Rail project proceeds nearby. Motorists can now utilize two lanes in each direction along a stretch from Industrial Area 17 to University Bridge, extending to University City. The reopening reinstates a road previously impacted by ongoing works.
However, a partial closure begins on August 26, 2025, requiring drivers en route to Maliha Road to take alternative signposted paths. This reroute affects access to Sharjah English School, Nesto Hypermarket, and other local businesses. The Authority has issued a map detailing the approved detours and urges motorists to adhere to them, observe signage, and follow safety guidelines until the project concludes on October 5, 2025.
