Temporary closure of Al Aleyas Tunnel announced amid Dubai road expansion works.
Dubai: Motorists using Emirates Road should plan for delays after Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced a major traffic diversion, including the temporary closure of Al Aleyas Tunnel, as part of ongoing road expansion works.
The changes came into effect on July 4 and are expected to remain in place for around two months.
The diversion affects the tunnel connecting Al Amardi Street and Tripoli Street, as well as the loop ramps at the Emirates Road intersection leading towards Maleha Street.
According to the RTA, the temporary closure is required to facilitate the expansion of Emirates Road towards Dubai and Al Amardi Street.
Alternative routes will remain available throughout the construction period, and motorists are advised to allow additional travel time, particularly during peak hours.
The RTA has urged drivers to plan their journeys in advance, follow directional signage, and use designated diversion routes to help maintain smoother traffic flow while the works are ongoing.
