Thursday to Sunday: August 13-16

At a glance
| Area and road | Official notice | Active in the window | Practical watchpoint |
|---|---|---|---|
| Al Ain — Zayed Bin Sultan Street roundabout | Partial closure | Thursday, August 13 to Sunday, August 16; the notice runs until Monday, August 24 at 5:00 a.m. 1 | Expect changed movement around the roundabout throughout the weekend. Allow extra time and follow the temporary signs on approach. |
| Al Ain — Zayed The First Street | Partial road closure | Thursday, August 13 only under the stated dates; the notice runs from July 13 to Thursday, August 13, with no end time given. 2 | Treat Thursday's restriction as active unless a later official update says otherwise. Do not carry it into Friday-Sunday without a renewed notice. |
What the dates mean for your trip
The Zayed Bin Sultan Street roundabout restriction is the one to plan around for the entire Thursday-Sunday period. The official notice gives the start and end times, but it does not name a diversion. Use the open lanes and temporary traffic directions at the site rather than relying on an old route plan. 1
The Zayed The First Street notice reaches its stated end on Thursday, August 13. That makes Thursday the boundary day: it matters for drivers travelling through Al Ain that day, while the notice by itself does not support carrying the restriction into August 14-16. 2
Neither AD Mobility notice publishes an alternative route. If your journey uses both roads, leave a buffer for the approach and check the signs before committing to the roundabout or a lane change.
Abu Dhabi Police cross-check
The latest road-related Abu Dhabi Police notice reviewed for this edition says that speed limits on the emirate's external roads had returned to normal after a fog-related reduction on August 9. It is a current safety update, not a scheduled road closure for August 13-16, so it does not add another disruption to this weekend's list. 3
