If your daily commute in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain already feels like a high-stakes race, get ready for an extra twist in the track. Abu Dhabi Mobility just waved the yellow caution flag for partial road and intersection closures this mid-August.
What’s Closing and When?
In the capital, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Street will see a partial closure starting Wednesday, August 13, running until Monday, August 18, 2025. That’s five full days of “hmm… maybe I should’ve taken the other road.”
Al Ain will also have its share of detours, though exact intersections will be revealed faster than your GPS can say “recalculating.”
Traffic Survival Tips
- Follow the signs: They’re not just decoration.
- Use alternative routes: Waze and Google Maps will be your best friends.
- Leave earlier: Or embrace being fashionably late (your boss may disagree).
Why It Matters
Sure, it’s a short-term headache, but closures like these usually mean upgrades are on the horizon—better roads, smoother drives, and fewer potholes trying to swallow your morning coffee.
So, whether you’re zipping to work, cruising for a shawarma fix, or just avoiding awkward small talk by staying in the car, plan ahead. Your stress levels (and fuel tank) will thank you.
