Road development works expected to cause delays; motorists advised to use alternative routes.
SHARJAH — The Sharjah Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA) has announced a temporary traffic diversion on the vital Al Khan Road, effective from tomorrow, Saturday, June 6. The planned closure is necessitated by upcoming infrastructure and road development works aimed at upgrading the emirate’s transit network.
According to the authority, the diversion will impact traffic flow in the affected zone. Motorists are highly encouraged to plan their commutes in advance, expect minor delays, and strictly adhere to the newly installed traffic signs to ensure safety and smooth transit.
Key Details for Commuters
The SRTA has outlined specific guidelines for daily commuters and residents in the Al Khan and Al Majaz areas:
- Commencement Date: Saturday, June 6.
- Reason for Diversion: Essential road expansion and infrastructure development.
- Impact: Reduced lane capacity on sections of Al Khan Road.
To mitigate congestion, traffic police and emergency patrols will be deployed to manage the flow of vehicles during peak hours. The authority has also advised drivers to utilize alternative internal routes and bypasses wherever possible.
Part of Sharjah’s Infrastructure Upgrade
This latest development is part of Sharjah’s ongoing, comprehensive master plan to modernize its urban infrastructure. As a bustling hub connecting residential and commercial sectors, Al Khan Road experiences heavy daily traffic, especially from commuters traveling between Sharjah and Dubai.
The SRTA expressed its gratitude to the public for their cooperation and patience, reiterating that these temporary inconveniences are essential for the long-term enhancement of the emirate’s transport efficiency.
