Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced a traffic diversion at the Al Barari Underpass on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), starting Saturday, June 28, 2025.
The diversion, expected to last for two months, is part of ongoing works to improve rainwater and groundwater drainage systems, as well as road resurfacing in the area.
Motorists are advised to use alternative routes, including the Dubai–Al Ain Bridge (U-turn towards Jebel Ali) or the Global Village Underpass and Umm Suqeim Street intersection (U-turn towards Sharjah), to avoid delays. Planning ahead is strongly recommended to ensure a smooth commute.
