UAE: A slip road along Emirates Road will be temporarily closed for construction starting December 11, authorities confirmed. The closure will impact motorists travelling from Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) toward Al Dhaid, who are advised to use Bridge 6 and the Khorfakkan Tunnel as alternative routes.
The temporary closure is part of an ongoing refurbishment aimed at enhancing traffic flow and improving safety configuration along the busy corridor. Officials have emphasized that the detours are clearly marked, and additional signage has been installed to help guide drivers through the affected area.
Motorists are urged to follow posted directions, reduce speed, and exercise extra caution while negotiating through construction zones, particularly during peak hours. The advisory aims to reduce congestion, prevent accidents, and maintain smooth traffic movement during the project period.
Jurisdiction has not yet specified an end date for the closure, but construction work is expected to continue for several weeks as improvements progress.
New Signage and Traffic Guidance in Place
Guiding signals are now in place across the compromised section to escort motorists safely via alternative paths. Field officers will continuously oversee the locale to handle buildup and verify full cooperation.
Authorities Urge Caution in Work Zones
Officials reminded drivers to remain vigilant, particularly in manufacturing zones where reduced speed limits and narrow lanes may be in effect.
Part of Larger Traffic Improvement Works
The closure supports ongoing infrastructure enhancements designed to boost safety and efficiency across Emirates Road, one of the UAE’s major arterial highways.
