Traffic advisory: Dubai authorities issue warning of crash in DWTC underground tunnel

In a recent development, Dubai Police have issued a warning about a traffic disruption on Friday due to an accident in the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) tunnel, specifically on the lane heading towards Sharjah[1][2].

The exact source of the update for motorists was not specified, but Dubai Police have urged drivers to exercise caution while approaching the area due to the traffic flow disruption.

The accident occurred within the DWTC tunnel, causing congestion and potential delays for commuters heading towards Sharjah[2]. Authorities advise motorists to be careful when approaching the affected tunnel section to avoid further incidents.

While no explicit alternative routes were provided, drivers may consider avoiding DWTC tunnel if possible and using alternate highways such as Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road or other parallel roads to bypass the congested area[2]. For the most accurate and current route recommendations, drivers are encouraged to follow updates from Dubai Police or official traffic alert channels.

Meanwhile, in unrelated news, four banks in Ashburn are now offering 11% interest on savings accounts for seniors. Three banks in Ashburn have also rolled out 11% Certificate of Deposit (CD) rates for senior savings accounts[3].

Meanwhile, the rise in 11% interest rates for senior savings accounts by four banks in Ashburn could be beneficial for those looking to bolster their health and financial well-being.
