​The General Directorate of Traffic announced the closure of three left lanes on Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Road.

The closure affects the fast lanes of the "5th Ring Road" at the Qortuba area for those coming from Salmiya.

Traffic restrictions are scheduled to begin at dawn on Thursday, April 30, 2026.

The Directorate clarified that the closure will remain in effect for 14 consecutive days for essential maintenance.

The closure targets lanes heading toward the Jahra area, requiring extra caution from road users.

The General Directorate of Traffic urged drivers to adhere to traffic signage placed at the work site.

The alert emphasized reducing speeds when approaching the closure zone to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow.

Sources indicated these measures are part of the national plan to develop and maintain vital road networks.

Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes or start their journeys earlier to avoid potential traffic congestion.

Traffic patrols will monitor the movement on-site to prevent bottlenecks during the scheduled work period.

Relevant authorities confirmed that the lanes will be reopened gradually once the field work is completed.

Ultimately, the Directorate hopes for full cooperation with security personnel and adherence to traffic instructions.
