Dubai-Al Ain Road: Expect Delays, Change Lanes
Got plans this June 13-26? Cancel 'em, or rethink that trip to Al Ain, because according to the RTA, sections of Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66) will be off-limits due to some much-needed bridge maintenance.
- So long, smooth sailing! Delays abound on Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66) heading towards Dubai at Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road (E77) intersection.
- Be prepared to make a pit stop! The exit from Dubai-Al Ain Road to Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road (heading Al Ain to Jebel Ali) will be off-limits. Instead, take your exit at the next available one on E66.
- Look before you leap! The exit from Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road to Dubai-Al Ain Road (heading Jebel Ali to Dubai) will also be closed. Opt for the next exit on E77 instead.
Remember, the RTA advises motorists to map out their journeys before setting off, plan for extra travel time, and roll with the punches, using alternative routes to dodge the traffic snarls.
Fun fact: Did you know? The RTA is investing in a traffic improvement initiative covering 40 key locations across Dubai, targeting bustling road arteries, school zones, and fast-growing areas between June and September 2025. The project aims to transform Dubai's traffic flow, making it safer and more efficient.
