Traffic alert: Congestion builds on key roads between Dubai and Sharjah

Dubai and Sharjah drivers are encountering mixed traffic conditions on major routes connecting the two cities. A significant portion of roads between Dubai and Sharjah, particularly around the Sharjah city centre and the Dubai-Sharjah corridor, are experiencing slow-moving traffic. Live Google Maps data shows congestion on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) near the approaches to Sharjah, as well as on parts of Al Ittihad Road (E11), with delays indicated by red and orange sections.

Around central Sharjah, several roads, including those near Al Khan, Al Nahda, and industrial areas, are exhibiting a mix of moderate and heavy congestion. Drivers navigating through these areas might face slower traffic, especially at junctions and connecting roads. In Dubai, traffic remains relatively smooth on most major routes, although some sections have moderate congestion, particularly around Dubai International Airport, Al Qusais, and approaching Sharjah.

Sections of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road and roads surrounding Dubai Safari Park are also showing signs of congestion. The map further highlights traffic incident markers along major roads. Motorists planning to travel between Dubai and Sharjah are advised to check live traffic updates before departing, particularly if their route includes the E11 or E311 corridors. Allowing additional travel time can help mitigate the effects of congestion.
